Error when trying to install Rmpfr in R related to the header file mpfr.h

I use Ubuntu 14.04 and I have R version 3.1.2. When I am trying to install the Rmpfr package, I get this error

configure: error: Header file mpfr.h not found; maybe use --with-mpfr-include=INCLUDE_PATH

I am new to Linux, so I don't know exactly how to fix this.

If using Amazon Linux, CentOS, or anything else that comes bundled with yum, do this:

sudo yum install mpfr-devel

You should install libmpfr-dev:

sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev
