Installation of package ‘forecast’ had non-zero exit status

Question

With R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10) on centOS I am trying to install.packages('forecast')

I get this:

install.packages('forecast')
Installing package into ‘/usr/lib64/R/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependency ‘RcppArmadillo’

Warning messages:

I tried every solution to fix this like install package from source indicate the dependency = TRUE, etc., but nothing works.

sessionInfo() give this output

Have you tried installing RcppArmadillo via install.packages("RcppArmadillo")? — Roman Luštrik
@RomanLuštrik ..In install.packages("RcppArmadillo") : installation of package ‘RcppArmadillo’ had non-zero exit status — Emad
@nrussell first you were right i needed an old version of forecast and all it's dependencies ,, but i couldn't install them because of the script i was runing at the runtime of R ( as we did it in the previous question ) so i deleted them and everything goes fine ,,,, — Emad

On UBUNTU 18.04 I got the following

Configuration failed because libcurl was not found. Try installing: * deb: libcurl4-openssl-dev (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) * rpm: libcurl-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL) * csw: libcurl_dev (Solaris)

I installed the package libcurl14-openssl-dev using synaptic, that solved the problem.
