Unable to install: missing zlib.h file #119

Closed rodgersk410 closed 6 years ago

I'm not able to install this package. Compilation fails due to what looks like a missing file referenced in mongoc-compression.o

install.packages("mongolite") ... mongoc/mongoc-compression.c:26:18: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [mongoc/mongoc-compression.o] Error 1 Warning: running command 'make -f "Makevars.win" -f "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-32~1.2/etc/i386/Makeconf" -f "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-32~1.2/share/make/winshlib.mk" SHLIB="mongolite.dll" OBJECTS="bson.o client.o collection.o cursor.o hex.o mongo_log.o reader.o utils.o"' had status 2 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'mongolite'

Try installing zlib-dev for your platform. If you need more help, please include your sessionInfo() and full build log.

Installing libz-dev fixes the error. In Debian use apt-get -y install libz-dev. This problem doesn't present in Linux physical machines but pops up while building Docker containers.
