Hi,

I am unable to install tibble, a required package for ggplot2 in R. I am 
running R (version 3.3.2 ) in RStudio (version 1.0.44). My OS is ubuntu 
14.04 (64 bits).
I get the same error when running R from the terminal.

Any help would be gretly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Terje

Terje,

The simplest thing to do would be to enable the cran2deb4ubuntu PPA 
(https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/c2d4u) and then you can 
just "sudo apt-get install r-cran-tibble" and be good to go.

Since tibble was built on the PPA, the most likely culprit for your 
issue is that the packages used to build tibble are not up to date. Do 
you have the latest version of Rcpp?

Seconded.  These binaries are _seriously_ underappreciated.

It is likely something else. 

I just started with a 'plain' Docker container for Ubuntu 14.04, and ran the
few commands to add CRAN (to get r-base-core and r-base-dev).

I then started R, and asked it to 'install.packages("tibble")'.  Which worked
flawlessly as you would expect.
