I am trying to install from Cran the R package "fGarch", using install.packages('fGarch') I am on Ubuntu, I have r-base-dev and r-base-core installed.
But the install fails because:
77 -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -fpic -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/r-base-ttHamR/r-base-4.0.2=. -fstack-protector-strong -c dist.f -o dist.o
/bin/bash: 77: command not found
/usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf:190: recipe for target 'dist.o' failed
make: *** [dist.o] Error 127
I have gfortran, gcc, g++. I also have something called "f77".
which f77
/usr/bin/f77
But nothing simply called "77". I do not understand what R is trying to call with "77".
I also installed the package from apt-get, but this then returns an error in R saying the version is too old and I should reinstall it.
Thank you for any help.
