Hi, Rosario,
The message is telling you that you need to install the development header
files for glibc on your computer. This is a set of files that are needed for
building some kinds of software, but are not installed by default. Are you
working on some sort of Linux machine? On Centos 8, the relevant package to
install is called "glibc-headers". On Ubuntu 20.04 it's "libc6-dev". You'd
need to run a command in the shell, something like:
Centos:
> sudo dnf install glibc-headers
or
> sudo yum install glibc-headers
Ubuntu/Debian:
> sudo apt install libc6-dev
If it's Windows or Mac, I can't help...
If you don't have root access on your host, or the above doesn't make sense to
you, you will need to talk to whoever administers your computing environment,
asking them to install the relevant package.
Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right e-mail I should have used; this is the first time
that I ask for help with R!
Yesterday, I installed the devel version of R (4.1) as I need to use a
package (RiboDiPa) which only works for this version.
The package requires, among the others, the package "rtracklayer". Since
yesterday I am struggling trying to install rtracklayer for devel version
without success.
Below you can find the final message I got before the installation stops.
Any idea of what might be the reason why I cannot install rtracklayer?

If you need any other information please, do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best,
