I can't install openair for some reasons:
sudo su - -c "R -e \"devtools::install_github('davidcarslaw/openair')\""
Result:
Installing package into ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’

What am I missing?
I am on Ubuntu 19.04.
Many R packages need underlying DLLs (shared objects) that are specific for compiling against, and they often have a -dev suffix on the package name. On my 16.04 Ubuntu system, I see:
$ apt list --installed | egrep 'lapack|blas'
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
libblas-common/xenial,now 3.6.0-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libblas-dev/xenial,now 3.6.0-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libblas3/xenial,now 3.6.0-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
liblapack-dev/xenial,now 3.6.0-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
liblapack3/xenial,now 3.6.0-2ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
(I also often cheat and look at:
$ ll /var/lib/dpkg/info/*lapack*.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 318 Apr 27 2017 /var/lib/dpkg/info/liblapack3.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 288 Apr 27 2017 /var/lib/dpkg/info/liblapack-dev.list
and while not fast or as flexible a way of looking, it quickly lets me look at the file-listings (these files) or the pre/post-install scripts, if present. Just a hack.)
If you don't have the two -dev packages, you can installed either or both with:
apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev
