thanks for this guys. I only compiled pcre myself as a last resort, because of the ./configure failure. But AFAICS apt-get reports correct installation: OK~/Downloads/R-devel sudo apt-get install r-base-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done r-base-dev is already the newest version (3.5.2-1cosmic). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
