Ubuntu 14.04 compile issue

[NSAlvarez]

httpuv fails to install with the following command using either "install.packages("httpuv")" in R or the command "R CMD INSTALL httpuv/" in a shell. Using R 3.4.3, g++4.8.

Does anyone have an idea to a solution?

The command out put is:

• installing to library ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’
• installing source package ‘httpuv’ ... ** libs g++ -std=gnu++11 -I/usr/share/R/include -DNDEBUG -I./libuv/include -I./http-parser -I./sha1 -I./base64 -fvisibility=hidden -I"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/Rcpp/include" -I"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/BH/include" -I"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/later/include" -fpic -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -c filedatasource-unix.cpp -o filedatasource-unix.o In file included from ./libuv/include/uv.h:62:0, from uvutil.h:6, from filedatasource.h:4, from filedatasource-unix.cpp:3: ./libuv/include/uv-unix.h:102:28: error: ‘sem_t’ does not name a type

• removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/httpuv’

Fixed the issue.

/usr/local/include/ had old header files that were causing the error. Removal allowed compiling to finish.
