Hi Dirk, thanks for the answer. Yes, I know that that does the trick. In fact, in our github README we have the following intructions:
"Install the following required dependencies: Cairo >= 1.0.0, ATK >= 1.10.0, Pango >= 1.10.0, GTK+ >= 2.8.0, GLib >= 2.8.0 (required by package RGtk2) Curl (required by package curl) GDAL >= 1.6.3, PROJ.4 >= 4.4.9 (required by package rgdal) On Debian and Ubuntu-based systems, to install those packages open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install r-cran-cairodevice r-cran-rgtk2 libcurl4-openssl-dev libgdal-dev libproj-dev " One of my questions here (maybe dumb), is how/where I should specify those dependencies when submitting to CRAN. Is putting intructions like these in the readme of the package sufficient, or do I need to do something else ? That's what I was asking as first point of the "Linux" part of the previous post (sorry if it was not clear).
