Unable to install ‘sf’ R package on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

This worked for me. Using

sudo aptitude install libgdal-dev

and then

devtools::install_github("r-spatial/sf")

For Arch users make sure you have gcc-fortran installed as the dependencies of sf require it specially if you are compiling from source.

sudo pacman -S gcc-fortran

Then make sure you have the following packages installed.

sudo pacman -S gdal proj geos

Finally udunits is not available in the main repos but in AUR repositories.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/udunits.git
cd udunits/
makepkg -si

You may use yay if you please.
