R SIG Debian - Oct 2017 - (no subject)

Hello everyone,

I installed R and trying to install additional package: `rgl`. The problem
is, I keep getting this error:

    installation of package ?rgl? had non-zero exit status

All warnings, installation log and R version info in available in my gist:
https://gist.github.com/mateuszcisek/2337bd92695b7ddf10bca10ea403c712 (it
was too long to use it all in the message).

I use Linux Mint 18.2. I know that there are more questions about that
error message, but I did not find any working solution. This is basically
fresh installation, I did not change any configuration files and tried to
install this package with and without root permissions. Does anyone have
any clue what can cause this?

Does your computer have the package `build-essential` installed? The
specific error you're getting is:

```
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/tmp/RtmpSv852d/R.INSTALL521c32e70e07/stringi':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
```

Hello again,

I'm glad to tell you that I fixed that error.

It was gcc compiler error and I found the solution right here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/26498/choose-gcc-and-g-version
(this link was sent by Harutyun Khachatryan).

I changed the versions of gcc and g++ from 4.3 and 4.4 to 4.8 and 4.9 and
it worked.
I also posted the solution in the gist I've sent you before.

Thank you all for your help,
Mateusz.
