pdftools on Ubuntu

Hello,


libpoppler-cpp-dev is not an R package but a system library to be
installed with (for example) :

sudo apt-get install libpoppler-cpp-dev


hope this help.

Hi,

I am trying to install pdftools package on R 3.3.1 (Ubuntu 16.04), but the
following issue occurs:

------------------------- ANTICONF ERROR ---------------------------
Configuration failed because poppler-cpp was not found. Try installing:
 * deb: libpoppler-cpp-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
 * rpm: poppler-cpp-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
 * csw: poppler_dev (Solaris)
 * brew: poppler (Mac OSX)
If poppler-cpp is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a poppler-cpp.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: configuration failed for package ?pdftools?
* removing ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/pdftools?

And when I try to install libpoppler-cpp-dev, I am getting another error:

install.packages('libpoppler-cpp-dev')

package ?libpoppler-cpp-dev? is not available (for R version 3.3.1)

My questions:

1) Is there any place where I can find libpoppler-cpp-dev? (I tried
https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ without success)

2) Is there any newer version for R in Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance,

Eduardo Morelli
