Installing package into ‘/home/jjimenez/R/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependency ‘xml2’

If libxml-2.0 is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your

is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'

Looks like your answer's in the error message! You need libxml-2.0 for xml2 to install properly!

Hi, in a Linux terminal session, run the highlighted command, and that should install that dependency for your. You may have other dependencies to install, please check out this article in our official sparklyr website: Redirect
