/bin/gtar: not found (Ubuntu 14.04)#110

I get /bin/gtar: not found when running devtools::install_git("git://github.com/rstats-db/RPostgres") on Ubuntu 14.04. There's no such thing as gtar. Here's the fix:

 ln -s /bin/tar /bin/gtar

Thanks. The preferred method is one of

remotes::install_github("r-dbi/RPostgres")
devtools::install_github("r-dbi/RPostgres")

but I'm not sure if this fixes the gtar error.

Sorry for posting on an old issue, but if you don't have root:

Sys.setenv(TAR = "/bin/tar")

or run in your shell:

export TAR="/bin/tar"

Have a nice day.
