Missing jpeglib.h and tiff.h

[marioem]

Hi,

please consider adding tiff and jpeglib to the image so that it would be possible to install graphics packages like imager, jpeg and tiff from sources.

Wrong repo. Please report tidyverse bugs here: https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned

Bigger issue that this is not really a bug. The question has come up (repeatedly). The goal is not to install each and every dependency. The goal is to provide a base you can customize to your needs. E.g. by installing these two dev packages.

Lastly, sudo apt-get install r-cran-jpeg is even quicker.

Went to that repo and the first note in readme.md reads

do not use apt-get install r-cran-* to install R packages on this stack.

:-). So I guess I need to figure out which system libs provide those headers.

For collective google memory

apt-get install libtiff-dev
apt-get install libjpeg-dev

[eddelbuettel]

Darn, forgot about that one -- yes because of the way the versioned stack is designed. So thanks for catching that.

But two more:

1) You can install both at once: sudo apt-get install libtiff-dev libjpeg-dev

2) Because they are so common they should also be implied by r-base-dev to maybe just install that one.

I think we can close this though.

@marioem Thanks for the report. We'll add libtiff-dev libjpeg-dev to rocker/verse maybe? (currently verse extends tidyverse, though we are working on a modular system so you can swap the order of these, tidyverse is obviously focused on tidyverse, but verse is more intended as the 'batteries-included' one stop shop of commonly used libraries.
