I followed the GitHub instrusctions and installed all the necessary dependencies on Linux Mint 21.1 (same as Ubuntu), i.e. build-essential, gfortran, g++, libxml2-dev, libglpk-dev. However, it fails with this strange error message:
R CMD INSTALL igraph_1.4.1.tar.gz
* installing to library ‘/home/fifis/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2’
* installing *source* package ‘igraph’ ...
** package ‘igraph’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation

ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘igraph’

I compiled R from source and had no such error message.The file /usr/local/lib/R/bin/Rcmd is in place, and on its 64th line, it says exec "${cmd}" ${extra} "${@}".

Is igraph calling the configure script in some non-standard manner? Which thing should I be trying to locate with which for further diagnostics?
Thank you in advance for a working solution / suggestion what might be missing on my system.
I think I might have a similar problem. I’m trying to build igraph for my docker image that is based on
jupyter/datascience-notebook:2023-10-20
My Dockerfile contains (among lots of other lines)
FROM jupyter/datascience-notebook:2023-10-20
...
RUN apt-get -y install build-essential
...
RUN apt install -y build-essential gfortran
RUN apt-get -y install libglpk-dev libgmp-dev libxml2-dev
RUN Rscript -e 'install.packages("igraph", repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org/")'
And the error that I get is about the missing glpk.h
In file included from vendor/cigraph/src/community/optimal_modularity.c:32:
vendor/cigraph/src/internal/glpk_support.h:39:10: fatal error: glpk.h: No such file or directory

The command ‘/bin/bash -o pipefail -c conda deactivate’ returned a non-zero code: 2
Then I tried to move these commands near the top of my script
