Package fails to install on Ubuntu Xenial #2

Here is what I get on my Ubuntu machine:

I have previously installed dieharder via sudo apt-get install dieharder, and I can run it successfully by calling dieharder.

Any idea what I might be missing?

Just to cover the obvious, you have both the library and the dev package installed?

edd@max:~$ COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l | grep dieharder | cut -c-70
ii  dieharder                3.31.1-7          amd64             Rando
ii  libdieharder-dev         3.31.1-7          amd64             Rando
ii  libdieharder3            3.31.1-7          amd64             Rando
edd@max:~$

That is from my 16.04 box. I haven't upgraded to 16.10 yet.

And running 

edd@max:~/git$ install.r RDieHarder

(where install.r is a wrapper from the littler package) works just fine and installs the package.

These things also tend to be re-tested at CRAN. There should be no issue, so I close this.
