I am unable to install the "clusterProfiler" package on my Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS system. Can you suggest a solution?

This is a bug that has been reported, try the solutions suggested in this post.

The easiest if possible is simply to update R.

In general I suggest you use PPPM (Posit Package Manager) for package binaries so you don't need to compile them yourself,, and pak (All about installing pak. — Installing pak • pak) for automatic system requirements installation:

options(repos = c(
  PPM = "https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/__linux__/jammy/latest", 
  CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org"
))
pak::pkg_install("clusterProfiler")

Unfortunately in this case they don't help, it seems like ggtree simply does not work on this R version, and you'll need a newer R version unless ggtree gets fixed.

Thanks, for your solution. It worked.
