Installing the R-package “rgeos” on linux: geos-config not found or not executable
I am running R 3.4.1 on gentoo.
When i try to install the 'rgeos' package, i get this:
> install.packages("rgeos")
Installing package into ‘/home/jody/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’

(The same happens if i try to install rgeos on gentoo with R 3.5.1, and also on Centos 7.5 with R 3.5.1.)
While there is a rgeos/configure which is executable in the tar file mentioned above, there is indeed no geos-config in there.
How can i get the rgeos package installed?
Is there perhaps a binary version which i could download?
r package gentoo

From the package's DESCRIPTION: "The 'GEOS' library is external to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly installed first." The GEOS website is here, and they claim Gentoo has a binary package for GEOS, but right now the website seems to be down (see here)

I found the solution.
The "rgeos" package depends on libraries you have to install before running R.
In gentoo i had to do:
sudo emerge --ask sci-libs/geos
In CentOS:
sudo yum install geos geos-devel
After installing these libraries i started R and could install the 'rgeos' package without problems
