It seems it couldn't find proj_api.h

[ismailsunni]

Checked the file, it's in the expected location:

root@62b92254f4e4:/fastr# ls /usr/include/ | grep proj
org_proj4_PJ.h
proj
proj.h
proj_api.h
proj_constants.h
proj_experimental.h
proj_json_streaming_writer.hpp
proj_symbol_rename.h
root@62b92254f4e4:/fastr#

In my computer:

ismailsunni@konrosoup:~/dev/docker/dockeRs/fastr-3.4.0-debian-geospatial$ ls /usr/include/ | grep proj
org_proj4_PJ.h
proj_api.h
projects.h
proj.h

[ismailsunni]

I tried to explicitly say the path, by doing like this:

install.packages("sf", configure.args=c('--with-proj-include=/usr/include')

Since I checked, my proj_api.h is inside this /usr/include

root@62b92254f4e4:/fastr# ls /usr/include | grep proj    
org_proj4_PJ.h
proj
proj.h
proj_api.h
proj_constants.h
proj_experimental.h
proj_json_streaming_writer.hpp
proj_symbol_rename.h

But it still gives me the same problem.

[ismailsunni]

Perhaps changing to use Ubuntu-based image can solve the problem see #28

[ismailsunni]

To replicate the problem for FastR in Debian

# Open FastR on the docker container
docker run  -it --rm ismailsunni/fastr-3.6.1-debian-geospatial R

or

# Run shell in the docker container
docker run -it --rm ismailsunni/fastr-3.6.1-debian-geospatial /bin/bash
# Open FastR session
R

The second way is better to explore the docker container.

Then install sf

install.packages('sf')

It will git the error like this:
