Errors when trying to install 'semPlot' R package - r

I'm trying to install the package 'semPlot' in RStudio, and keep getting errors:
** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'rockchalk' in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib):

I already installed the package ‘rockchalk’, but it didn't help.
The first time I tried to install 'semPlot' there was an almost endless process which also ended with an error.

You could use the install_github function to install R packages hosted on GitHub from the devtools package. Here is a reproducible example:
devtools::install_github('SachaEpskamp/semPlot')
library(semPlot)
Created on 2022-11-14 with reprex v2.0.2

I solved it by uninstalling R and RStudio, and then installing them, and googling a small problem that came up with tydiverse.

Error installing R packages (R 3.4.4), asks for usethis when already installed

I'm having the following problem:
When I try to install any R package, at first it downloads the package just fine into a temporal location, and then the following error message appears:
Error: package ‘usethis’ required by ‘devtools’ could not be found
Execution halted
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘lattice’ had non-zero exit status
The wierd part of this is that package usethis is installed and loaded.
Any advise on what can be happening here? I'm a lost there..

How to fix 'libproj not found in standard or given locations' error in r

I'm trying to install the 'agricolae' package on R, but I get an error saying

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.2 and R version 3.6.0 (2019-04-26) -- "Planting of a Tree" and that's when the problems started.
When I do
$ sudo apt-get install -y libproj-dev
I get:
libproj-dev is already the newest version (5.2.0-1~bionic0).
The error says that package 'sf' is not available for dependency 'spdep'. So you should be attempting to install pkg 'sf'. (I'm on the same OS as you and pkg:agricolae installed without problem just now. I have a more complete set of spatial R and system packages than you do.)
Edit: There have been reports that it was necessary in addressing this problem to create an environment link to the location of your libraries:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

R: Can't install certain packages

I noticed that I am unable to install a bunch of packages. It started then I was trying to install the package carat. I would get this long error.

installing the dependencies ‘robustbase’, ‘ddalpha’, ‘recipes’ individually beforehand doesn't work either.
I also noticed that I am unable to update the packages
cluster
glmnet
maps
PKI
a bunch of others
I'm currently using R version 3.3.2 and RStudio Version 1.0.136. I have been using R and RStudio for months and have never had an issues installing packages. I have done a bunch of searching on Google and Stack-overflow and found some solutions. None of them have worked for me.
The error in my output was
gfortran -fPIC -I/Users/UserName/anaconda/include -L/Users/UserName/anaconda/lib -c eigen.f -o eigen.o
make: gfortran: No such file or directory
I found this thread that provided me with the answer I needed.
OS X package installation depends on gfortran-4.8

Cannot install ggplot2: "Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) : shared object ‘stringi.so’ not found"

Last week I upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10. The first time I've tried to use ggplot in RStudio since the update, I'm getting dependancy errors with my ggplot package and its no longer registered as installed (was working fine before). When I try to reinstal ggplot2:
install.packages("ggplot2",dep=TRUE)
The installation fails while trying to install the dependencies. Here's what the tail of the output looks like:
* installing *source* package ‘stringr’ ...

I have a feeling this is the line (below) I should be looking at, but I'm not sure how to interprete this error, anyone have any suggestions for me? I really have no idea where to go from here, as I couldent find any other people experiencing the same error as me.
Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) :
shared object ‘stringi.so’ not found
Not sure if the Ubuntu upgrade I did relates to this... but I thought'd I'd mention it just in case.
Following #Nick Kennedey's comment, I tried installing stringi like this:
> install.packages("stringi",dep=TRUE)
Which resulted in this error I hadn't seen before:
2015-08-07 10:26:35 (256 KB/s) - ‘/tmp/RtmpQI4Uau/downloaded_packages/stringi_0.5-5.tar.gz’ saved [3639183/3639183]
ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/home/james/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1’ for modifying

Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘stringi’ had non-zero exit status
The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpQI4Uau/downloaded_packages’
> install.packages("stringi",dep=TRUE)
So the I followed the suggestion in the error an removed the LOCK folder.
In the terminal: rm -r /home/james/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1/00LOCK-stringi’
Then tried installing the stringi package again, and it worked! This was the issue... now I've just finished installing with no issues.
I am still a little bit confused though... as to how this error can come about. Any ideas on what causes this so I can avoid it in the future? Is it possible it was a symptom of my recent upgrade to 14.10?
Got the same error while installing install.packages("knitr")
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/stringi/libs/stringi.so'
I solved it by doing the below:
In Ubuntu 16.04 and above
sudo apt install r-cran-stringi
In earlier versions (which had apt-get)
sudo apt-get install r-cran-stringi
In my case I solved the problem through installing stringi and ggplot2 from the terminal of linux. The problem has some relation with RStudio.
