I'm working with R, I have installed the library 'rms' but I have the follow error:
> library(rms)
Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) :
DLL ‘colorspace’ not found: maybe not installed for this architecture?
Errore: package ‘ggplot2’ could not be loaded
What can I do?
If you install from base R and wish to install a package and all its dependencies, you need to use the argument dependencies = TRUE. From ?install.packages:
"dependencies = TRUE ... this installs all the packages needed to run pkgs, their examples, tests and vignettes (if the package author specified them correctly).
Hence,
install.packages("rms",dependencies = TRUE)
should do the trick.
The answer offered so far (without any upvotes so far) is useful, but incomplete. It is sometimes sufficient to execute install.packages() with dependencies = TRUE, but if the missing package is a dependency of a dependency, then install.package is not "smart" enough to recognize that fact. The ggplot2 package is in the "Depends:" line of the rms package DESCRIPTION file, but colorspace is not. Sometimes the end-user simply needs to read the error message and install the missing dependencies.
In this case, however, it appears that there may have been a version mismatch of packages and R.

A similar question was asked here, but I tried the code Tiago Lubiana posts there, to no avail.
I haven't been able to install rstanarm after several attempts. R keeps crashing during the installation.
I did install rstan by running
install.packages("rstan", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/", dependencies = TRUE)
When I want to install rstanarm, nothing seems to work, though. I've tried the following:
1) install.packages("rstanarm"): R crashes and installs a folder called 00LOCK-rstanarm, plus the corresponding rstanarm folder. When I open R, rstanarm is there, but after running library(rstanarm), I get
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rstanarm’ in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib):
shared object ‘rstanarm.so’ not found
By running install.packages("rstanarm") again, I get:
ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/home/nalerive/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5’ for modifying
Try removing ‘/home/nalerive/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5/00LOCK-rstanarm’
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘rstanarm’ had non-zero exit status
Deleting that folder has not solved the problem (but see here for a similar error with another package).
2) From here, running
if (!require(devtools)) { install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools) }
install_github("stan-dev/rstanarm", build_vignettes = FALSE)
leads to R crashing again, and the same folders as in 1) are installed. I also get the same error by running library("rstanarm"), namely:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rstanarm’ in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib):
shared object ‘rstanarm.so’ not found
3) Following this post I tried
install.packages("rstanarm", dependencies = TRUE, repos="http://cran.rstudio.com/", INSTALL_opts = c('--no-lock'))
and R keeps crashing.
I've tried more things, like removing the 00LOCK-rstanarm folder by means of unlink("/home/nalerive/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.5/00LOCK-rstanarm/", recursive = TRUE); restarting R when indicated; checking my C++ toolchain (as suggested here), etc... but nothing has worked. I really feel hopeless at this point.
I have R version 3.5.2, rstan version 2.19.2, and Linux 4.15.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.15.4-1~mx17+1 (2018-02-23)
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I have installed the rdd package, when calling library(rdd), I get error an message:
Error: package ‘car’ required by ‘AER’ could not be found"
I have used functions from car (like anova) so I know I have it.
I have MAC OS 10.15.1, R 3.6.1 , I reinstalled R and RStudio.
install.packages("rdd")
library(rdd)
Loading required package: AER
Error: package ‘car’ required by ‘AER’ could not be found
Packages may have dependencies (i.e. other packages) and those dependent package may have dependencies of their very own. Appears that rdd requires AER which in turn requires car. So you need all three (and possibly even more). At the very least you need to now install pkg:car.
(I know this may seem a duplicate but I'm not sure the usual duplicate nominees have seen a multi-level dependency situation such as this. )
Suggest you execute both of this lines:
install.packages("AER", dependencies=TRUE) # should pick up car
# maybe also need install.packages("car", dependencies=TRUE)
install.packages("rdd", dependencies=TRUE)
If you get further errors, pay attention to the first error message and use install package recursively until you establish a full set of dependencies and dependencies of dependencies.
How to do i resolve the following code error?
library(tidyverse)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’:
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tidyselect', details:
call: is_string(x)
error: object 'rlang_is_string' not found
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘tidyverse’ was built under R version 3.5.3
For persistent errors of type, first, ensure you are working with the latest version of R. The installr package is a very convenient way to do this.
Then, start new R session (ideally, not in RStudio).
Uninstall tidyverse, tidyselect, and rlang
# if you are using multiple libraries, you may need to specify libpath,
# using the following: lib="~/R/win-library/3.6"
# you can check using the .libPaths() command
remove.packages("rlang")
remove.packages("tidyselect")
remove.packages("tidyverse")
and, reinstall them one by one with dependencies = TRUE
install.packages("rlang", dependencies = TRUE)
install.packages("tidyselect", dependencies = TRUE)
install.packages("tidyverse", dependencies = TRUE)
That should do it.
I also encounter a similar problem like you, which I'm unable to load the tidyverse too.
Hope this discuss from the tidyverse github issues maybe relevant to you.
https://github.com/tidyverse/googledrive/issues/275
Here's one of our typical explanations of this. Note that this is not specific to googledrive or rlang. It's an R + Windows gotcha. I suspect for you is rlang (at least).
Please note that on Windows, it is very important to quit or restart
all R processes before upgrading , because if any R process has
loaded, it will keep the .dll file open and the installer will not be
able to overwrite .dll. The error message when this happens is very
easy to overlook, and the new version will be partially installed: the
package description and R code will be updated but the compiled code
(in .dll) will not.
The R studio I have in my university computer gives me an error when I try to download different packages, whereas when I'm with my laptop in the university server, I don't get this error. Because of this, I don't think that there is some kind of a proxy/server problem.
library(readr)
Error in library(readr) : there is no package called 'readr'
I also tried to download the package using R.exe program or download other packages and it gave me the same error.
After looking for a solution in the internet, I found this script:
install.packages('readr', dependencies = TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')
But it downloaded many different packages:
I would like to know the reason why RStudio gives me this error and what happened when I tried to download readr package using install.packages?
Error in library(readr) : there is no package called 'readr'
This means that you don't have the package readr installed on your computer.
You then installed it with
install.packages('readr', dependencies = TRUE, repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')
which is good. Most packages are not "stand-alone", they use other packages too, called dependencies. Because you used the default dependencies = TRUE, all the dependencies (and their dependencies) were also installed.
You can look at the CRAN page for readr: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=readr to see its dependencies (anything in the "Depends" or "Imports" fields is required). And of course you need the dependencies of those dependencies, etc. Now that readr is installed along with its dependencies, you can run library(readr) to load it.
Because you set dependencies = TRUE it installed all the dependencies for the package readr
Those several packages you listed are considered dependencies for readr.
You get that initial error when a package has yet to be downloaded.
I am trying to install "rpart" package in R. But I am getting the following error.
> install.packages('rpart')
Warning in install.packages("rpart") :
argument 'lib' is missing: using '/home/sandeep/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.11'
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package ‘rpart’ is not available
Can anyone please tell whats the error about? How to solve?
A tip to start: If you're not sure whether you have a package already, you can use eg the function find.package() to check:
> find.package('rpart')
[1] "D:/R/library/rpart"
> find.package('lololool')
Error in find.package("lololool") : there is no package called 'lololool'
The problem is not so much that it is installed by default. It can be downloaded and installed from CRAN without problem using install.packages('rpart'), but if you check at the package page on CRAN, you see a very important line:
Depends: R (≥ 2.13.0), graphics, stats, grDevices
which tells you that it is only available for R 2.13 and following versions. From your error, I deduce you still run 2.11. Quite some packages are not available for that old R version from CRAN any more, so you better update your R. Otherwise you'll run into this problem more often.
Be aware that if you run Debian, you'll have to do a bit more effort, as the default R in debian is always outdated. Just in case, you find the directions to do that here.
I found that once I restarted RStudio that I was able to install the package and find.package() showed I did, now, have the packages.
