Which version of R is this under? And are you just installing the CRAN version of polyclip via install.packages()?

Hi, same issue on OS X Unclear what causes it

I tried with R 3.4.4 under Ubuntu 14.04 and with R 3.5 on a brand new Ubuntu 16.04 VM, and both worked flawlessly. What is your locale? Maybe you could provide the output of sessionInfo()? Does it also happen with the CRAN version when you do install.packages("polyclip")?

[gregleleu]

Here's my sessionInfo():

I have now found the bug in the configure script and (hopefully) fixed it. Could you please confirm that it now works and close the issue?

[luispuerto]

did you already upload it to CRAN? I still have the same issue in macOS.

[rubak]

No, not on CRAN yet. Please install from GitHub:

remotes::install_github('baddstats/polyclip')

[luispuerto]

Now it builds perfectly 👍
