I installed a pre-compiled version of R-3.3.3 on my computer and also used ./configure and make to install a R-3.2.3. I found out that my RStudio is using 3.3.3, and now I want to delete 3.2.3. How can I do it?

I am not able to get rstudio into my anaconda base environment. I have tried installing it from the GUI and from the command line. In the GUI it just says that it is installing and either A) crashes, or B) stays on the installing screen forever.
I am using the following code in the base env.
conda install rstudio
System: Ubuntu 19.10 on vitualboxVM with a mac os mojave host.
Also, It is trying to install pypq, is this the problem? This doesn't seem like a package I need for my R scripts, do popular R packages depend on it? If not, can I tell anaconda just to skip installing it?
The terminal log is very long so I attached the image instead of copying the code:
UPDATE: I can install in another env, but not base.
Yes, that's it. For some reason you cannot install R Studio in the base environment but you're obliged to create a specific R environment to install it.
I'm trying to install R 3.2.2 in ubuntu 16.04 but I can only get the 3.3.3 version with the regular installation. I can only work with that version, but I can't find how to do it in intertnet.
You can find old versions of R here. You have to install it manually. In the tar.gz file is a INSTALL file on how to install it.
I am trying to install two packages in R (3.3.2): devtools and git2r. They are depending on the existence of zlib. This comes with macOS Sierra (10.12.3) and it's version 1.2.8 by default.
When I'm trying to install these packages I get the error below.
I've been trying a lot of things.
directly installing via CRAN in RStudio: no effect.
trying to locate zlib on macOS: can't find zlib.
installing via R CMD INSTALL git2r: no effect.
I notice someone has a similar issue posted on GitHub: https://github.com/ropensci/git2r/issues. There is no solution yet.
Does anyone here have an idea?
Thanks!
Sander
ERROR MESSAGE BELOW
configure error in "/private/tmp/RtmpP6HZFx/R.INSTALLe73412909267/git2r"
configure error
The zlib library that is required to build git2r was not found.
Please install:
zlib1g-dev (package on e.g. Debian and Ubuntu)
zlib-devel (package on e.g. Fedora, CentOS and RHEL)
and try again.
If the zlib library is installed on your system but the git2r configuration is unable to find it, you can specify the include and lib path to zlib with:
"R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-zlib-include=INCLUDE_PATH --with-zlib-lib=LIB_PATH' git2r"
See "config.log" for more details

UPDATE: the same issue persists on macOS X 10.12.5 in combination with R 3.4.0 - the latter I need for DESeq2.
Solution...Mmm. Not really. I simply uninstalled R and all the packages, and than I reinstalled everything again. I installed R and RStudio via homebrew, following the instructions here: https://rud.is/b/2015/10/22/installing-r-on-os-x-100-homebrew-edition/.
Oddly enough: all issues disappeared.
UPDATE #1: this solution does not - obviously - work for the combination R 3.4.0 and macOS X 10.12.5. We need a solution for this issue.
UPDATE #2: I have discovered what I believe was the issue: a wrong path to the xcode command line tools.
sudo xcode-select --reset did the trick and now xcode-select -p points to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools. And which xcode-select points to /usr/bin/xcode-select. Googling I discovered that it is not needed to install Xcode through the App Store as it states on http://railsapps.github.io/xcode-command-line-tools.html:
"On earlier versions of macOS, it was more difficult to install Xcode Command Line Tools. It required a huge download of the full Xcode package from the Mac App Store or registration as an Apple developer for a smaller Command Line Tools package. Mac OS X Mavericks made installation of Xcode Command Line Tools much simpler.".
i was having the same problem. i have a note 8(samsung). just go to GitHub and install zlib from there.
Installing R with the pkg installer doesn't require XQuartz. However, install R with Homebrew requires to install XQuartz first.
Can anybody explain why please?
Is there a way to install R without Xquartz with Homebrew?
I need to decide whether to use Homebrew, or install R, Python etc with their pkg installers before applying to multiple computers (running OS X 10.8).
If you look at the recipe you'll see you can pass --without-x11 as a parameter (which should remove the need to have XQuartz installed. There is a cask for xquartz, btw. There is a recipe for R GUI, as well.
Homebrew R has had some issues with RStudio in the past and is also not recommended by the R maintainers.
According to this commit on GitHub, it has been fixed.
r: fix build with Quartz-only cairo #2434
Now, XQuartz is not required anymore, tested and it works:
brew update
brew tap homebrew/science
brew install r
I found that R works just fine without x.11 until I wanted to use the simple text editor. It complained about not having x.11, and wanted xquartz. I installed xquartz from home-brew and RStudio (and R) worked just fine. Hope that's useful.
After installing Mavericks on my Mac, I'm not able to run Rattle anymore.
Because of compatibility issues between RStudio and 10.9 (http://www.r-bloggers.com/rstudio-and-os-x-10-9-mavericks/), I installed v 0.98.433 of RStudio and R 3.0.2
Tried to launch Rattle the normal way: none.
I tried in a different way:
I manually launched xQuartz to install GTK+
via R-Studio I installed RGtg2 and Cairo
Installed Rattle, launched it and I got 1 sec message from Rattle, before it disappeared, crashing R session.
I then tried going back to R 2.15.3 (using RSwitch), doing same procedure.
Rattle starts with no ricognizable character and a bunch of related error messages on the RStudio console, from Pango.
Problem is it is looking for a directory .../pango/1.6.0 that does not exist (I have /1.8.0).
Is there any one who came out with a working combination of R/RStudio/Rattle on Mavericks?
I have a course I'm going to teach on data mining next semester and I introduced Rattle as the core tool, but I need it running.
Going back to previous Mac OS is not an option, because students may have the latest version.
Any help would be highly appreciated
I believe that the problem is with the GTK2 and Cairo modules. After building a few packages from source, rattle works for me...
I have had difficulties with Cairo/GTK2 since Mountain Lion. I got crashes using Simon's binary packages for these. Note that I updated my system to Mavericks, so I have not tried this on a clean install... I also have Homebrew installed for building programs from source. I use the ATT binary installer for R (thanks, Simon) for most packages but build a few packages from source. There were some hiccups and I spent a lot of time searching with Google. Here is what I did:
One needs XCode and the Xcode command line tools installed. After you install XCode, you need to run
sudo xcode-select --install
to install the command line tools. Then install Homebrew according to directions from the web site... Install gtk+ and cairo with their dependencies with:
brew install gtk+ cairo
And wait quite a while for everything to build....
The first problem I had is that I couldn't build any R packages from source because of this error:
make: llvm-gcc-4.2: No such file or directory
Google to the rescue...
I needed to change two lines in Makeconf in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/etc to
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
Note: the R Mac Tools page now says this should be:
CC=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang
CXX=/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/clang4/lib
Then download the source packages for RGtk2, Cairo, and cairoDevice. I do all the work in my ~/bld directory with:
cd ~/bld
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/Frameworks/GTK+.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
R CMD install RGtk2_2.20.25.tar.gz
R CMD install Cairo_1.5-2.tar.gz
R CMD install cairoDevice_2.19.tar.gz
Hope this helps.
