before build error configure: error: Some of the recommended packages are missing #24

I am trying to compile MRO 3.3.2 on my ubuntu 17 machine.

This pops up at he configure stage before building, but all recommended packages are in their position:

configure: error: Some of the recommended packages are missing Use --without-recommended-packages if this was intentional

I checked vars.mak and the configure files... .... I am not an expert but all seems ok...

The same happens either via git clone or by downloading: https://github.com/Microsoft/microsoft-r-open/archive/MRO-3.3.2.tar.gz

please help, there is no binary package for ubuntu 16.10 or 17, so I need to compile this.... Running it via docker is not convenient.... Btw, could you please provide a dockerfile including latest MRO and R Studio Server?

by the way, I also had curl issues, solved by these instructions: http://pj.freefaculty.org/blog/?p=315 no libcurl variant via apt-get could solve it

solution: you can add them later via r command line...
