Failed R install package of survminer in Databricks 10.4 LTS

[Ross]

I am trying to install the survminer package but I get a non-zero exit status. It may be due to the jpeg package which is a pre-requisite but this also fails when installing independently.

install.packages("survminer", repos = "https://cran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2022-06-24/")

The resulting error is as follows:

* installing *source* package ‘SparseM’ ...
** package ‘SparseM’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
