Package compilation issues

[karthik2527]

I am trying to install ade4_1.7-10.tar.gz and seeing below error,

 R CMD INSTALL ade4_1.7-10.tar.gz
* installing to library ‘/opt/R/3.4.3/lib/R/library’
* installing *source* package ‘ade4’ ...
** package ‘ade4’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

Could someone please advise on this, I know its a old version of the package but that is our requirement for now and also I did try to install the newer version but it resulted in the same error.

Steps I have tried to resolve the issue

dnf install blas-devel
dnf install lapack-devel
dnf install gcc-gfortran
dnf install lapack-devel
R CMD INSTALL ade4_1.7-10.tar.gz

This is a RHEL 8 environment and gcc version it has is 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5)

Looks like there is a problem in your dev setup.
