install.packages('forecast')
install.packages('kernlab')

    In general when libraries are missing, "cannot find -lXXX", you should apt-cache search libXXX + -dev, and apt-get install what you find.

    So in this case:

    sudo apt-get install libblas-dev
sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev

    Short answer: We supply a package with the most common dependencies so consider doing sudo apt-get install r-base-dev. After that you can compile.

    Longer answer: Ubuntu contains a number of pre-built CRAN packages. Consider doing sudo apt install r-cran-kernlab r-cran-forecast. For an older Ubuntu release this may reflect older versions.

    Best answer (if you are on Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04): Consider r2u which has all (!!) of the CRAN packages as r-cran-binaries, and uses bspm so that you can just say install.packages(c("kernlab", "forecast")) and still get everything pre-made as binaries, with dependencies, and managed via apt. But we do not support 18.04 for that.
