I'm having trouble installing xml2 in RStudio, running Fedora 27. On running install.packages('xml2'), I get the following error:

I noticed in my /usr/lib64/, I have libicui18n.so.57 only, so I tried copying a libicui18n.so.58 there, and I got the following error:

And I noticed the same problem -- I have version .57, not version .58 of this library as well. Before I repeat this over and over, is this in fact a shared library problem? Or, is there a way to fix this all at once?
I have xml2 installed (libxml2-devel-2.9.5-2.fc27.x86_64) already.
Since no one answered this yet and I've found a hacky solution, I thought I'd give an update on what worked.
It appears that my issue was that, even upon installing libxml2-devel, the version of the libraries I had in /usr/lib64 were not the same version required by RStudio's xml2 package. For example, regarding the particular package being mentioned in my question above, libicuuc.so.58, only libicuuc.so.57 could be found in /usr/lib64.
Running locate libicuuc.so.58, I found that anaconda3 has the correct versions of the libraries, so I got around the above problem temporarily by simply adding ~/anaconda3/lib to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, roughly following instructions here.
This is a bit hacky, but led to successful installation.
Edit (IMPORTANT): Adding ~/anaconda3/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bashrc caused a login loop, presumably because Fedora was trying to use the wrong libraries. To fix this, I added the lines:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/ryi/anaconda3/lib/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to R_HOME/etc/ldpaths.
I have solved this problem by install the ICU4C by source:
downloading ICU4C 58.2 from: ICU-Project
compiled
added the library location to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
the install will be work.

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)
#--------------

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:

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 know this is a recurrent issue. However, going through all the hits when I google still has not helped me solve the issue. I hope someone can help: Her is what I do:
1: I run
install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)
This appears to run all right. At least I do not get any error messages.
2: then I do:
install_github('vqv/ggbiplot', force=TRUE)
Then the errors messages comes:
install_github('vqv/ggbiplot', force=TRUE)

I suggest you to go in the path of the library in your computer (should be c:/Users/jada/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/) and delete the ggbiplot folder. After this, redo the installation process.
In this way you remove every possible problem conflict.
If this doesn't work out try also to delete ggbiplot_0.55.tar.gz in the Temp folder as suggested in the error.
I know it is an old question, but I have found a solution in here, and just in case the link does not work, here is the possible solution:
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("vqv/ggbiplot")

the following commands do not work, then:

What should I do to solve this problem?
This is related to the staged installation of packages introduced with R 3.6.0. You can disable it by passing the --no-staged-install option to R CMD INSTALL (as suggested by the error message):
devtools::install_github("kevinwolz/hisafer", INSTALL_opts="--no-staged-install")
I'm trying to install the "factoextra" package using a local source tar ball on Windows. I can install other packages in the same way with no problem. However, when installing "factoextra", I get an error relating to S3methods.
I have tried using local windows binaries, installing the latest Rtools and made sure I have all the dependencies installed. I have also tried to use archived versions of the package.
install.packages('D:\\R_Packages\\Packages\\factoextra_1.0.5.tar.gz', repos = NULL, type="source")

I really just need this package to install.
I found this thread: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Error-in-rbind-info-getNamespaceInfo-env-quot-S3methods-quot-td4755490.html, which leads me to how I solved a similar issue on my machine.
I found that a broken version of the package was installed on my system and had to be removed manually before I could install a clean version.
Find if and where factoextra is installed (it might be on your system, just outdated or broken):
find.package("factoextra")
If it's there already (just broken), you can try to remove it with:
remove.packages("factoextra")
If remove.packages() fails even though find.packages() says the package is there, use the path returned by find.packages() to use your OS' file system to find and delete the package - just be careful only to delete stuff you know is broken.
Once the old, broken package is removed, use install.packages("factoextra") and it should work.
I had several packages that were broken in this way. If that's the case for you, you can identify which packages to remove and install this way by using something like:
allPackages <- installed.packages()[, 1]
findBrokenPackages <- function(packages) {
for (p in packages) {
tryCatch(ncol(asNamespace(p)$.__NAMESPACE__.$S3methods),
error = function(e) print(c(p, e)))
}
}
findBrokenPackages(allPackages)
This will print out any packages that have the same issue. I would suggest removing all broken packages before trying to use install.packages() again.
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:

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 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
