R (Ubuntu) - Can't install packages "readr" and "eurostat"
<p>I have a problem with installing "eurostats" package in R. After breaking down the problem, I deduced that the problem lies with "readr" package. Trying to install it, this occurs:</p>

<pre><code>* installing *source* package ‘readr’ ...
** libs
g++ -I/usr/share/R/include -DNDEBUG   -I"/home/shiny/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3/Rcpp/include" -I"/home/shiny/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3/BH/include"   -fpic  -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g  -c Collector.cpp -o Collector.o
</code></pre>

<p>after which the terminal just freezes as if it is active but nothing happens.Prior to this, I kind of tackled with locale settings (just mentioning it if it helps). I was able to install other packages.</p>

<p>My R and Linux details are as follows:</p>
