I am installing the package forecast. However, I get a persistent error because the package fracdiff fails with this error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status /usr/share/R/share/make/shlib.mk:6: recipe for target 'fracdiff.so' failed make: *** [fracdiff.so] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘fracdiff’ * removing ‘/home/mario/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/fracdiff’ Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘fracdiff’ had non-zero exit status
Normally, when I see had non-zero exit status, it is for me a clue telling me that I should go to Synaptic and search for the library r-cran-fracdiff. However, this library is not present in my repositories, and don’t really know how to solve this issue.
Any idea?

Answer
“/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXXX” tells you that you should be looking for a library named something like “libXXX-dev”.
In this case I would install libblas-dev and perhaps also liblapack-dev, as explained here.
