r - 无法在 CentOS 上的 R 中安装 XML 包

Question

当我尝试在 CENTOS 上的 R 中安装 xml 包时，我收到这样的警告:

可能是R版本的问题？

Answer 1

输出中明确指出了两个问题:

1. 第一个是警告，您可能需要删除 a.out/:

checking for C compiler default output file name... 
rm: cannot remove 'a.out.dSYM': Is a directory
a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes

1. 第二个是一个错误，你的交易破坏者 -- 你没有安装了 libxml2-dev(或 CentOS 称之为的任何东西):

checking for xml2-config... no
Cannot find xml2-config

如果没有 libxml2-dev 提供的 XML 开发工具，您根本无法从源代码构建包。
