I've just installed DSX Desktop with RStudio. I'm unable to load new packages, e.g. lubridate, and get the error below. If I check for package updates, I get the message "all packages are up-to-date", but the error below suggests it needs a newer version of Rcpp.

Any advice please on how to proceed?
There seems to be a fundamental problem with RStudio. I encountered exactly the same problems you describe with the latest version (1.1.442). The problems are:
Packages viewed as out-of-date go into a loop when installing with a repeated error dialog box appearing.
The package version check refers out-of-date packages and will not install the current package versions showing on CRAN. This is due to RStudio pointing at a MRAN mirror that has old updates. This means that all packages stored there are out of date. You can see when the packages on MRAN were last updated here.
Removal of other packages (e.g. dependencies) doesn't work properly, and manual deletion of the folders doesn't solve the problem.
Inside Tools, Global options, Packages there is the ability to specify the mirror that should be used for package management. This doesn't seem to work.
I fixed my problem by going into R and performing a package update inside that. RStudio now uses the updated packages.
I have contacted RStudio about this and received the reply that they don't provide support for free versions of RStudio.
tl;dr: RStudio appears to be broken for updating packages. Use R itself for updates.
I was getting this error:
Windows 7, update.packages problem: “unable to move temporary installation”? Which I think was due to my antivirus, but not sure. MRAN version was 3.3.1 and this is what I would do to fix this error everytime I opened R-Studio and needed to install:
trace(utils:::unpackPkgZip, edit=TRUE)
# Edit line 142 - change Sys.sleep(2.5)
I was still having versioning issues with tidyverse, so looked around and decided to install the latest MRAN from Microsoft and that fixed all of my R-Studio versioning issues and install inssues. I had other issues where I was doing a work.

I would like to install the expss package but it keeps returning an error.
Looked around for other with similar problems and tried re-installing several packages but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a suggestion how to fixed the problem?
So far i tried re-installing:
install.packages("stringr")
install.packages("knitr")
install.packages("checkmate")
install.packages("htmlwidgets")
install.packages("htmltools")
install.packages("htmlTable")
install.packages("expss")
But Rstudio keeps returning with and error :
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘expss’:
object 'mtfrm' not found whilst loading namespace 'expss'
Error: loading failed
Execution halted
ERROR: loading failed
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.1/Resources/library/expss’

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/private/var/folders/cl/5_wnd4b14y7b40zc80n1r3wdkcnbkn/T/RtmpdcLWsn/downloaded_packages’
According to this issue, the current version of expss won't install in versions of R before 4.2. This has recently been fixed in the development version. You could try:
updating your version of R to version 4.2 (probably the simplest solution if you don't need to keep an older version of R)
installing the development version of expss from GitHub: first install the remotes package, then remotes::install_github("gdemin/expss")
install an older version of expss (remotes::install_version("expss", "0.11.1"))
I've recently installed devtools looking to create my first package. At some point I tried loading the library, and got an error when 'devtools' tried to load the dependent library 'usethis'. Whenever I'd try to install it I'd get "error reading from connection". All solutions I could find online involved restarting R and my computer. Neither worked.
Finally, I manually deleted the folder, downloaded the .zip file from CRAN, and manually installed 'usethis'. I can now load 'usethis'.
I then tried loading 'devtools' but got the same error, but now for devtools.

In addition: Warning messages:

2: package ‘usethis’ was built under R version 4.2.0
3: In readRDS(nsInfoFilePath) : error reading the file
I tried reinstalling the package, both from CRAN and manually. I restarted R and restarted my computer, all multiple times. I even reinstalled 'usethis'.
When I reinstall devtools manually the installation exists without an error. But when I actually load it, I get the error above.
My computer is a standard personal Windows PC. No fancy configurations or firewall (beyond the standard - though that shouldn't be an issue when manually installing anyway I think). I've used this same set up for months, and have installed and used dozens of packages.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
When I install R package, tabplot, below message has come.
My R version has updated 4.0.4 because 4.0.2 had same error.
error message is below)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘tabplot’ is not available for this version of R
A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
see the ideas at
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages
Could you pls share how to resolve this issue?
Let's go meta for a moment:
What are you trying to do? Do you have a particular function in that archived package that you are hoping to apply to your dataset? ( which would imply that we needed to know which function. ... and a bunch of other questions.)
Or is this an effort to follow a blog or tutorial from the Web? (Again which one?)
I see this when I execute:
> install.packages("tabplot")
Installing package into ‘/home/david/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘tabplot’ is not available (for R version 3.6.3)
So at this point my guess is that the tabplot maintainer has not keep pace with the evolution of R. Because ... packages that depend on the syntax or the behavior of core R functions or the CRAN rules that might change over time depending on the considered decisions of the R Core and CRAN. That's just the way it is. There's a further sort of language/system evolution that Hadley spawned.(ggplot and magrittr/ddplyr/rlang). (Arguably the S4 tributary is in the same category. The last CRAN-accepted version was downloadable from: <search-for exact URL> at 'an URL to be named later"' produces "Archived on 2020-02-19 as check problems were not corrected despite reminders." So that's pretty recent. Perhaps we can just download a copy of the most recent "tabplot-xx.xx.xx.xx.tar.gz" file from the CRAN archive and install from local source. (Note: need to use repo=NULL in the install.packages call.)
Well, that's not working yet because of an unmet dependency on an object named clone from package:ff.
install.packages("~/Downloads/tabplot/", repos =NULL)

ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘tabplot’
* removing ‘/home/david/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5.1/tabplot’
So perhaps you can live with some drop-in R code from the expanded source on the CRAN Archive?
EDIT: So I tried figuring out how to handle that sort of error and finally decided to try changing the NAMESPACE file. It's a text file that names various functions and where the program should find them. The two lines I needed to change were the ones importing ff:::clone and ff:::is.factor.ff so change them to
importFrom(bit, clone) # the bit package has an exported version
importFrom(ff, is.factor) # removed the `.ff` from its name
And now I get:
install.packages("~/Downloads/tabplot/", repos =NULL)
Installing package into ‘/home/david/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5.1’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

* DONE (tabplot)
The warning message is because I edited the NAMESPACE file but didn't do a full rebuild. Also note that you will not need the Rtools on a Windoze machine or the XCode and CLT on a Mac because there is no compiled code in this package.
It does appear that most of my efforts are paralleling the changes being made to the github version. See https://github.com/mtennekes/tabplot/issues/21 where the is.factor.ff issue was addressed 2 days ago. The author/maintainer says the package will be resubmitted to CRAN.
Despite claims that resubmission will occur. there does not seem to be any progress on that front. https://cran-archive.r-project.org/web/checks/2020/2020-02-19_check_results_tabplot.html However the github page suggests an installation via devtools and that succeeds for version 1.4.1 on an Ubuntu machine, despite the reports of errors in the earlier version that had been submitted to CRAN.
I have been having some issues accessing an updated version of a package in R.
On running a workflow for data analysis I got this error message:
library(dplyr)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘dplyr’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
namespace ‘rlang’ 0.2.1 is already loaded, but >= 0.2.2 is required
I therefore tried to update both the "dplyr" and "rlang" packages.
On updating I get the messages:

However if I check the package using the code below it still has version 0.2.1

I checked my library paths and still have not managed to be run the latest version(0.2.2) of the package rlang.
Any advice of what I am doing wrong or how I can solve this?
Restart R and run install.packages again. On Windows, you can't update a package that's already loaded, if the package contains compiled C/C++/Fortran code. This includes dplyr and rlang.
To be doubly sure, before you run install.packages, go to your R packages directory (C:/Users/tomsp/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5) and delete any zero-length files that are present. These are artifacts of failed install attempts and will break install.packages if present.
For any reason, at least in Windows, some R processes may still be running in background. Close your current R session, kill all processes related to R and try again.
If you are using Windows, check if the package you are trying to upgrade is available only as a source file.
If you try to install a package that needs compilation, you need the software Rtools. Download it on cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/. Updating Rtools might also resolve your problem. The console message for a particular package is like that:
binary source needs_compilation
backports 1.2.0 1.2.1 TRUE
On Linux you don't need Rtools, but read the console output when you see an error when you try to install or update a package. If some software is missing, the error message on Linux is self-explanatory.
Deleted the entire library from R packages directory on my local computer. Installed again after terminating the session. Worked for me.
I have been trying to load the tm text mining package onto R studio for a number of hours now. I have tried everything I have come across online but it doesnt appear to work.
I started with
install.packages('tm', dependencies = TRUE)
and am given the following error
Installing package into ‘D:/Users/byrne/Documents/R/win-library/3.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :

when i then try to load the package using
library(tm)
I get this error
Loading required package: NLP
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :
there is no package called ‘slam’
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tm’
I have then loaded NLP and tried to load 'slam'. which it then tells me is not available on R version 3.2.3. I then updated to 3.2.5 and it still gives me the same message. I have changed the CRAN mirror to mutliple different locations and still get the same error.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm stumped now.
It is probably that 'slam' can not be installed because of '-lgfortran' package error. You need to apply below;
You need to close all R sessions also R Studio.
Open terminal and type xcode-select --install
Type curl -O http://r.research.att.com/libs/gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2
Type sudo tar fvxz gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2 -C /
You can install 'slam' now.
Try sudo apt-get install r-cran-slam on your terminal
It should work properly after that.
use command
install.packages("tm", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Dependency package ‘slam’ is not available until R version 3.3.1 and you are using version 3.2.X.
Also, keep in mind that some of the dependency packages (like Rgraphviz) are no longer at the CRAN repository, but are at the Bioconductor site as explained in the answer to this question.
whenever it says "there is no package called ---", just install that package, restart your r session and this time it will load fine.
