I am having trouble installing packages, I was not able to install any. I got the following error in my r console:
ERROR: dependency 'cachem' is not available for package 'memoise'
* removing 'C:/Users/VasquezV/Documents/R/win-library/3.4/memoise'
Warning in install.packages :

The major issue with this problem is that the cli package might not be updated as it often shows 3.1.1 installed but 3.3.0 required. Hence you have two solutions:
install.packages(cli) - there are chances that even this step
might fail as the error message is displayed: "Error in unpacking packages."
Uninstall Cran R and R studio and reinstall it or install the package for replacing the existing one to solve the issue.
This will definitely work as I have solved the issue through this way itself.
I'm having some trouble installing the R package "slam" on my machine. I'm running a Macbook Pro OS 10.8.3 with R Version 3.2.1.
In order to get RTextTools package to work, I require a slam package of version 0.1-30 and above. I've read the documentation and it states that slam v0.1-30 and above (with the exception of 0.1-38) can run on any R version above 2.8.0.
This doesn't seem to be the case however. I've tried everything from 0.1-31 to 0.1-37 and the installation keeps failing with the following message:
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘slam’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/slam’
* restoring previous ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.2/Resources/library/slam’
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘/Users/(user)/Downloads/slam_0.1-34.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status
Can anybody help me please? Is there a way to solve this problem (either install RTextTools or install slam) without upgrading my machine's OS?
Actually, I would like to use the function “HMMFit” of package ”Rhmm” in R, but it cannot find the package. Then, I try to download this package in https://cran.r-project.org/. The version is RHmm_2.0.3.tar.gz. When I install this package, it warning me that “installation of package ‘RHmm_2.0.3.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status”, and I cannot install it. I had search it in google, but I cannot find a useful solution.
Do you have some suggestion?
Thanks
P.S. I am using RStudio verison 0.99.491, R version 3.2.3 and MAC OX.
I have installed the 32bit version of R 3.1.1 on AIX 7.1.3
I am in the step of installing the rJava package from the R shell using the command: install.packages("rJava")
However, I am getting this error:
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.utstat.utoronto.ca/src/contrib
Warning messages:
1: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to resolve 'cran.r-project.org'
2: package 'rJava' is not available (for R version 3.1.1)
It seems that R is unable to connect to the internet to download the package.
I have tried several mirror sites.
Any idea how to resolve this issue in AIX?
Is there also an alternative option to install rJava manually not through the install.packages() R command?
You could try to compile the package with devtools:
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('s-u/rJava')
Make sure to have the correct javac in your path.
On one computer running R 2.15.2 I have installed packages from a .zip file (these packages happened to be ggplot2 and data.table, but I don't think the specific package is my issue.) Everything works fine. I took these packages to a computer without an internet connection and installed them. This other computer is running R 3.0.1. The packages seemed to install without a problem (using R's "install package(s) from local zip file" option). When I call the packages with the library(), I get the following error:
Error: package '<insert name of newly installed package here>' was build before 3.0.0: please-re-install it
Can anyone explain potential causes for this error to be thrown? Are there particular directories that the .zip packages must be in for a proper install? If R is installed on a separate partition from where the .zip packages were loaded, could this cause the error?
I'm at a loss, any pointers are greatly appreciated. This is a difficult one to reproduce; if you need any other version/system parameters to understand the problem, please don't hesitate to ask.
I found this solution while look at GitHub ggplot2 issue #796
update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE, ask = FALSE)
It will update all the packages that need to be reinstalled.
Running install.packages("codetools") can fix this issue for R 3.0.2, if you have the same problem like me:

I installed shiny according https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/wiki/Ubuntu-step-by-step-install-instructions
and got the same error at the step
sudo su - -c "R -e \"install.packages('shiny', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')\""
Warning messages:
1: In install.packages("shiny", repos = "http://cran.rstudio.com/") :

I tried the answer by Richard Lee by starting R
R
and got the error
Warning in install.packages("shiny") :
'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
Would you like to use a personal library instead? (y/n) n
Error in install.packages("shiny") : unable to install packages
obviously no write permission, so
sudo R
Now I tried again
install.packages("shiny")
and got a number of errors
Error : package ‘codetools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘RJSONIO’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘caTools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘bitops’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘digest’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘xtable’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Each time I got an error, I re-installed the requested package
install.packages("codetools")
install.packages("RJSONIO")
etc.
and eventually, I was able to install Rccp, httpuv, and even shiny.
Now it works!!

I am using rkward on precise
I had a similar error using rkward. Specifically this one:
'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
I temporarily changed the permissions for this directory so that rkward could run this from its console:
update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE, ask = FALSE)
all to fix this:
Error: package '' was build before 3.0.0: please-re-install it
so that (sigh...) I could fix 'default' configuration for audio on precise. I couldn't use play() etc. in rkward.
That just needed phonon-backend-gtstreamer
I tried to install swirl on R(v3.1.0) on ubuntu 12.04LTS:
sudo R
install.packages("swirl")
But faced a similar error:
Error : package ‘codetools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : unable to load R code in package ‘httr’
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘httr’
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/httr’
ERROR: dependencies ‘testthat’, ‘httr’ are not available for package ‘swirl’
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/swirl’
Doing following helped me:
install.packages('codetools')
install.packages("swirl")
library("swirl")
swirl()

I hope the same may help fix your installation issue.
Here is the work-around that I used:
I installed the latest version of R on an internet-capable computer. I then loaded the my required packages (Packages->install packages->select mirror->select package...
After R is finished installing, it displays a message of where the temporary .zip package is located. I navigated to this location, grabbed the temp package, and burnt it to a cd.
In this way, I could get the newer package build onto a computer without internet access. I would still be interested to know if there is an easy way to rebuild a package downloaded on an early R version to make it compatible with the latest version (without needed an internet connection).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction #JoshuaUlrich
