Trouble installing development branch

[iembry-USGS]

I am currently using:

R version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21) -- "You Stupid Darkness" RcppOctave 0.18.1 GNU Octave 3.8.1 Trisquel 7.0 (Ubuntu 14.04)

I unsuccessfully installed the development branch through the ghit package.

library(ghit); install_github(repo = "renozao/RcppOctave[develop]")

Error: Package build for RcppOctave failed with the following output:
* checking for file ‘/tmp/RtmpAkNtud/RcppOctave1508197749d5/DESCRIPTION’ ... OK

When will you merge the development with the master branch?

Thank you.

I merged compatibility fixes just now, can you please re-try?

@renozao I just tried again and I still am receiving the same error message. Thank you.

@renozao Does RcppOctave require that GNU Octave is installed from source code or can Octave be installed via a package manager on GNU/Linux distributions?

Thank you.
