Description
The nloptr package tries to download and install the nlopt library, but it fails because the R downloader does not follow the redirects.
Instead of failing the compilation, the procedure spawns thousands of configure processes until all the machine resources are drained.
This involves all the rstudio and dataminer servers

The solution is installing the libnlopt-dev deb package, so the compile dependencies are satisfied without the need to locally build the library.
I added the package to the appropriate lists on subversion.
