I'm trying to install the package georob, which is no longer on CRAN. In order to install georob, I need first to install the package RandomFields which is no longer on CRAN neither. Therefore, I downloaded the file RandomFields_3.3.tar.gz from CRAN Archive and then tried to install the package RandomFields with the following command in R:
install.packages(pkgs = "C:/documents/RandomFields_3.3.tar.gz", type="source", repos=NULL)
When I do this I get the following error:
make: *** [C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-42~1.0/etc/x64/Makeconf:257: brownresnick.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'RandomFields'
My installations are as follows:
Windows 10 Home, 64-bit
R version 4.2.0
R Studio 2022.07.2+576
Rtools42 for windows
Any idea how I can install georob and/or RandomFields?
Thank you very much!
I am having the same problem as this and this.
I have installed R and rstudio through a conda environment which included r-rgl. I am now trying to install a package within R that requires rgl. However, calling library(rgl) gives the error
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rgl’:
package ‘rgl’ was installed by an R version with different internals; it needs to be reinstalled for use with this R version
I have tried to install rgl from within R, but then I get this message:
checking for X... no
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’

The solution to the last error seems to be installing XQuartz in Mac, but I had it installed before. So I tried specifying install.packages("rgl", INSTALL_opts = "--with-libpng-prefix=/usr/X11/") but I still get the error above. Any suggestions? I'm quite lost now...
TL;DR: how do I connect my XQuartz installation with each conda environment that I create?
I'm trying to use a script that needs the devtools package in R. I already fail installing the package. As far as I understood, this is what I should do
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("hadley/devtools")
Just those two lines in a script result in the error
Warning in install.packages("devtools") :
'lib = "/usr/local/R/3.0/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/R/library"' is not writable
Error in install.packages("devtools") : unable to install packages
Execution halted
So the library doesn't have the permission for me to install the package? I don't have Rstudio, the version I'm using R version 3.0
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:

I installed shiny according https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/wiki/Ubuntu-step-by-step-install-instructions
and got the same error at the step
sudo su - -c "R -e \"install.packages('shiny', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')\""
Warning messages:

I tried the answer by Richard Lee by starting R
R
and got the error
Warning in install.packages("shiny") :
'lib = "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"' is not writable
Would you like to use a personal library instead? (y/n) n
Error in install.packages("shiny") : unable to install packages
obviously no write permission, so
sudo R
Now I tried again
install.packages("shiny")
and got a number of errors
Error : package ‘codetools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘RJSONIO’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘caTools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘bitops’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : package ‘digest’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
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 tried to install swirl on R(v3.1.0) on ubuntu 12.04LTS:
sudo R
install.packages("swirl")
But faced a similar error:

Error : unable to load R code in package ‘httr’
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘httr’

Doing following helped me:
install.packages('codetools')
install.packages("swirl")
library("swirl")
swirl()

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
I am trying to install the fftw3 package through R console
>install.packages("fftw")
After this command it is asking to select the cran mirror.I have selected the cran mirror then following error occurs:

Warning: unable to access index for repository http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/cran/src/contrib

2: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :

And When I am trying for fftw3 then following error occurs:

Warning message:

Can anyone help me out of this?
As Paul said, that's probably not an R package. There is an R package that is a wrapper for the FFTW library, also called fftw, you should install that:
Link to CRAN page of fftw
In Ubuntu you have then still the system requirement to have a proper installed fftw library, that you probably can solve via
sudo apt-get install fftw3 fftw3-dev pkg-config
The website you linked talks about a C library, there is nothing about an R code package. You mistakenly assume that R can install any .tar.gz file as an R library. An R library has a very specific structure of files and directories, and the error you get is because the .tar.gz does not adhere to this structure.
