    There are at least two databases listing package requirements: one maintained by RStudio (this supports RSPM), another one by R-hub. Both of these list system packages for various Linux distributions, macOS, and Windows. But even with these databases, the build- vs. run-time dependencies can be sometimes hard to distinguish. Build-time system libraries are always named with a -dev or -devel postfix. Read the vignette of the maketools R package by Jeroen Ooms for a nice explanation and a suggested workflow for determining run-time dependencies of packages.
