It is possible you are missing some system requirement. Please follow the instruction on the README

Also, there is windows binary available. No need to compile from source, and it is often easier to install. See the Pre compile part.

Thanks for the reply......Earlier we have successfully installed rClr for R3.4.3 version....now that we have updated the R version to R.3.5.1 we have been facing the issue since then....kindly look into the issue please...

It seems like there is an issue regarding this in the rClr repository (which looks like it hasn't been updated in some time).

Because the release of 3.5 was a major release, it is possible that the versions are somehow incompatible. However, hopefully @cderv's suggestion will work, and you can follow the pre-compile instructions successfully.
