rgdal installation error on ubuntu 17.10

I am trying to install rgdal library on R, but I am facing some difficulties. Maybe I is a naive error or pure newbie :P. I am running:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu ; Description: Ubuntu 17.10 ; Release: 17.10 ; Codename: artful

R version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28) -- "Short Summer" ; Copyright (C) 2017 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ; Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)

When I try install.packages('rgdal') the following error shows:

Installing package into ‘/home/jonathan/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’
