Rterm.,exe and tcl86.dll - r

Godd morning!
On friday while I was doing some tests using parallel processing (with doParallel, compiler and foreach packages) suddenly I began to have repeteadly the following message
Message error
which traduced says:
"It was not possible to find the access point (or point of entry) to the proccedure deflateSetHeader in the dynamic link library C:PROGRA~1\R\R-3.4~1.2\Tcl\bin64\tcl86.dll "
The R version I was using when it started was the prior 3.3.3
I thought that, may be I didn't realize any inconsistency with that version and the packages I mentioned.
I reinstalled everything (R - the most recent version and RStudio, also, the most recent version) and the problem continues even in its most basic installation state (with no extra package installed). And now the message appears even when I just open RStudio but I'm not running anything.
Is anyone having this trouble? how can I solve it?
If any other info is needed I'll be glad to give you. I appreciate any help sice it's been a long weekend trying to solve it.

The issue got resolved by reinstalling R and R studio latest update. Currently using this version
RStudio-1.1.383
R-3.4.2-win

Error message when trying to build website using distill: invalid version specification

I have a distill website. When I try to hit "Build Website" using RStudio I get this error message:
Error: invalid version specification '2021.09.0+351' Execution halted
Exited with status 1.
Both issues are already fixed in development version of distill.
It was previously found by us or reported in Github Issues. Don't hesitate to look there when you have trouble, and also test the development v
This issue
Error: invalid version specification
is caused when you used the last RStudio IDE version.
The blank page issue is caused when using last rmarkdown version.
We'll make a patch release to CRAN very soon, but in the meantime, please install the development version of distill
remotes::install_github("rstudio/distill")
It is not a fully satisfactory answer, but I faced the same issue. Running:
rmarkdown::render_site(encoding = 'UTF-8')
on a terminal/command line window does run the command fully. However, the site is created only with blank pages (even though if you check the html source, the page is there, hidden).
I'm tracing the blank pages to the upgrade of the rmarkdown package, in my case, from 2.8 to 2.11. This brings with it a new dependency of jquerylib which might be a cause of this as well. This has started to happen with the new version of RStudio 2021.09.0 Build 351. This is consistent with the error message you and I got.
I tried to downgrade rmarkdown but every time you knit from RStudio with that version, it forces the upgrade. I think this should be reported as a bug, as it was clearly working before and now there are several issues that all seemed to be linked with all the upgrades (not compiling from inside RStudio, compiling with blank pages).
(I would have added this as a comment rather than a solution, but I do not have enough reputation yet)

R plot doesn't work on my Windows, but plot.default does

I'm taking a course in R and I've hit a road block on day one.
Typing:
demo(graphics)
...should start a series of graphs being displayed on screen. On my Windows 10 (64 bit) new Dell laptop, I get a persistent error:
The execution is stopped after the red lines, seemingly because the demo(graphics) call is being made with incompatible parameters. In blue I make the same call but use the default function and an empty plot is displayed.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, installing through Anaconda and from the CRAN website. The same error persists. I've even tried with mro instead of basic R.
I don't see any similar error messages in my class or on Google. My guess is that I need to install a particular version of R and RStudio make it work but I'm guessing.
Can anybody offer some expertise?
I'm running R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) (which is executing code correct, just not the demo call) and RStudio Version
Running the basic Rgui software from the command line with the --vanilla parameter like so:
Rgui --vanilla
Opened Rgui and the
demo(graphics)
...call worked.
This meant that the issue was in the .Rprofile file. This is found in the etc folder of the basic R installation and when I checked, it looked absolutely fine (entirely commented out actually).
I wanted to use RStudio though, so I investigated the RStudio docs and saw that each project is given its own .Rprofile style initialization file when a new project is created.
So I created a new project with RStudio and by creating a new project whatever configuration issue was causing the error was completely fixed.

R does not build my project after several weeks with no changes

A bit frustrated right now. I have an R project that I built several weeks ago that I have not touched in those weeks. Come back to R Studio to do some debugging, and it will not rebuild the package. When I run the Check command from within the RStudio UI, the error I get is:
Error: Check failed: 'P:\MosaicPA\R Packages/Mosaic.VoronoiV2.Rcheck' doesn't exist
Execution halted
Exited with status 1.
When I try the Install and Restart option, I get this error:
==> Rcmd.exe INSTALL --no-multiarch --with-keep.source Mosaic.VoronoiV2
Warning: invalid package 'Mosaic.VoronoiV2'
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
Exited with status 1.
I have not seen these messages before, and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, since nothing has changed.
I am not new to programming, but I am new-ish to the R environment. Cannot figure out what has changed, and I dont know what the .Rcheck file is, and I dont know why R doesnt create it. None of my other projects have a .Rcheck file or directory, and I dont know if this is supposed to be a file or directory. I have tried creating the project from scratch. Same issue.
Using R 3.4.1 and the latest R Studio version.
Well, Windows permissions strikes again...personally, I find Windows to be a HUGE POS because of stuff like this. Problem resolved after I reinstalled R under my domain account...I was suspicious of this, but couldn't find a way to confirm. Just reinstalled R and it worked. What I really wish is that when it IS a permissions problem, that Windows would report it as such, so the software can tell the end user this, vs sending us down some rabbit hole, chasing some non-existent problem, which happens too much as it is. Thanks, Redmond! But...I understand...after all, MS is too busy working on the next emoji standard...which is a priority, so who has time to make the OS better. End of rant.

'Malformed' Error on R package check with --as-cran. Package built with Rstudio

A few months ago I launched the 'table1xls' package, built using Rstudio. Since then some revisions have naturally accumulated. I wanted to share the revisions on CRAN in time for the R 3.1.0 rollout.
The problem is, for a couple of months now the --as-cran check option is giving me this annoying error:
* checking CRAN incoming feasibility ...Error: Line starting '<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>C ...' is malformed!
Now, I have no HTML in my package, nor any files that compile into HTML format. My work desktop (where this error occurs) is behind a firewall that requires the --internet2 flag when launching R, but Rstudio seems generally unfazed by that.
I saw this question pop up here and there, including on Rstudio's support pages where it remains unanswered. Any insight will be gratefully accepted.
Btw, my package is available on GitHub, user name "AssafOron". I wonder whether users can install it directly via devtools::install_github.
Oh, forgot to add: I'm using Windows (it's still XP over here) and this error is on the 3.1.0 alpha. But the same error was present with 3.0.2 as well. My top 2 suspects are something with Rstudio, or the firewall.
That looks very much like a proxy issue.
A simple fix: upload the package to win-builder where you can test against the released version of R as well as the development version. If they do not flag anything ... then you know you;re good.
Else, go to a local Starbucks or public library and use different connectivity.

R 3.0.0 crashes on startup

I just updated R from version 2.15.1 to version 3.0.0 on my MAC running 10.6.8 and now R crashes on startup.
I get the error:
Error in getLoadedDLLs() : there is no .Internal function 'getLoadedDLLs'
Error in checkConflicts(value) :
".isMethodsDispatchOn" is not a BUILTIN function
Any ideas on how to go about?
The most common cause of this is having a corrupted ".Rdata" file in your working directory. Using the Mac Finder.app you will not by default be able to see files that begin with a ".", so-called dotfiles. Those files can be "seen" if you execute a change to the plist controlling the behavior of Finder.app. Open a Terminal.app window and run this bit of code:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Then /point/-/click/-/hold/ on Dock-Finder-icon, and choose "Relaunch"
If you to do so, you can then change it back with the obvious modfication to that procedure. I happen to like seeing the hidden files so that's the way I run my Mac all the time, but some people may feel it is too dangerous to expose the "hidden secrets" to their own bumbling.
Paul raises a good point: I run the following R function in the R console after updating:
update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE)
I have a lot of installed packages and paging through the entire list has gotten too tiresome so I bypass the ask-messages. Sometimes you will get errors because there may be dependencies on r-forge or Omegahat packages or on packages that need to be compiled from source. These may need to be updated "by hand". And you may need more than one pass through such an effort. Take notes of which packages are missing and fill them in.
I had the same problem running RKWard on ubuntu 12.04.
Check your r-base-core, like Paul suggested, to make sure the version is also at the latest version. Mine didn't update automatically. I had a platform dependent version, but RKWard was calling the new version. To solve this problem, I simply marked r-base-core for removal and reinstalled the latest version or r-base-core. poof problem fixed, bippity boppity boo!
I suspect that your error is similar to mine because I had also JUST updated RKWard. Start at updating r-base-core or try to get all of the dependencies to match up the versions.
I hope that you can translate this into what to do on a MAC,
