Hi @jeroen

I got this installation error on Ubuntu:

Which version of ubuntu are you on? I'm not getting this on my ubuntu 20.04. Also CRAN's debian servers don't show any problems: https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_gifski.html

[mtennekes]

Also 20.04:

 pandoc   2.17.1.1 @ /usr/lib/rstudio/bin/quarto/bin/ (via rmarkdown)

Which linux libraries does the installation depend on, that are worth checking?

[jeroen]

The only thing it depends on is cargo. What is your cargo --version ? I get:

cargo --version
cargo 1.57.0

[mtennekes]

It's been installed now!

I had an older version 1.39. Then I tried to upgrade but failed due to a problem of a missing Cargo.toml. I removed the .cargo folder and apparently that did the trick.

Thanks!
