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 everyone,

(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?
