Description
Using install.packages function, I get compilation errors. I am using R 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS.
A portion of the output showing the errors:

Research direction
Reproduce the install.packages failure with R 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, then inspect the reported StanHeaders path and the errors in stan/math/prim/mat/fun/mean.hpp while compiling chains.cpp. Done means identifying a compatible installation path or correcting the compatibility issue so RStan installs without these compilation errors.
