Attempting to install R package ggforce encountered following error installing dependency polyclip which referred me to config.log. However, config.log is not found below ~/, /tmp, or /var/log I checked this via
find . | grep config[.]log
Tried install.packages("ggforce",keep_outputs = TRUE) which did not provide any additional information;
install.packages("ggforce",keep_outputs = TRUE,verbose = TRUE)
"configure: error: in `/tmp/RtmpAkq4Vm/R.INSTALL6c31457f19ba/polyclip'"
however /tmp/RtmpAkq4Vm did not exist post installation.
Can somebody tell me where it is?
