I was trying to install package "stringi" using install.packages() but ran into the following errors:

What happened? What am I supposed to do?
You need to have RTools installed. Installing RTools got rid of this error for me.

I am trying to install an archived R package, SciencesPo, but it's not installing, even after installing the dependencies. The following is the code and the messages that follow

Extra Information
I am ultimately trying to create heat maps, and am following this tutorial
http://spatialanalysis.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/james_cheshire_ggplot_intro_blog.pdf
You'll need to install Rtools to install the R compiler libraries:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
Otherwise, R will have issues compiling from source code.
I have similar problem as this user, How to turn gpclibPermit() to TRUE
Solution was to install gpclib, but I get error
> install.packages("gpclib")
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran:
‘gpclib’
These will not be installed
Then I download gpclib_1.5-5.tar.gz from http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gpclib/index.html and extract to library folder, i.e D:\R\R-3.2.0\library.
When I execute the following, I still get the errors:
> install.packages("gpclib")
Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran:
‘gpclib’
These will not be installed
> gpclibPermitStatus()
[1] FALSE
Thanks
Update
I tried

"Extract[ing] to library folder" is not the correct way to install a source package (the .tar.gz you downloaded). Inside R execute
install.packages(path_to_file, repos = NULL, type="source")

I am trying to install the R package "colorspace" in Ubuntu Linux from local repository as follows:

Could someone help me with this issue?
Thank you.

Its saying it can't find "make", which makes me think you don't have all the compilers and so on that you need to build packages from source.
Install the "build-essential" package, something like:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
from your command line (not from R!)
While trying to install the 'Rook' package in R i'm getting the following error:

ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘Rook’

Warning message:

I used both the install.packages() function and the terminal to install the package, but received the same message. Any ideas?
