I am able to get my Shiny Application to run on my local Windows machine but when I try to replicate the application on our R Server I am running into issues with the PDFTools Package. When I attempt to install the PDFTools package I get the following error:
--------------------------- [ANTICONF] --------------------------------
Configuration failed to find 'poppler-cpp' system library. Try installing:
-
rpm: poppler-cpp-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
-
brew: poppler (MacOS)
-
deb: libpoppler-cpp-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
-
On Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 use this PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:cran/poppler
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libpoppler-cpp-dev
If poppler-cpp is already installed, check that 'pkg-config' is in your
PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH contains a poppler-cpp.pc file. If pkg-config
is unavailable you can set INCLUDE_DIR and LIB_DIR manually via:
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=... LIB_DIR=...'
-------------------------- [ERROR MESSAGE] ---------------------------
:1:30: fatal error: poppler-document.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
It looks like I need to install poppler but when I try to do the suggested in the error message, I'm unable to install properly. Do I need elevated admin rights?
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:cran/poppler
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libpoppler-cpp-dev

Anyone figure out a solution to this?
