I was able to use the library(tm) in r without problem until today, when loading tm shows:
library(tm)
Loading required package: NLP
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :
there is no package called ‘slam’
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tm’
I thought this is a dependency issue and seek to reinstall package
install.packages("tm")
Warning in install.packages : dependency ‘slam’ is not available
and then try to find slam:
install.packages("slam")
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘slam’ is not available (for R version 3.2.4)
I also tried some of the issues listed here and chooseCRANmirror(), still no luck. Is there something wrong with the package or is it just that my r does not allow 'slam' to install after today?

For R-version 3.2.3, following worked fine as mentioned in this link and it suggests this works for R-version 3.3.0 as well:
#install devtools if you have not installed
install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)
slam_url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/slam/slam_0.1-37.tar.gz"
install_url(slam_url)
I found a hint at this german site about R under Install additional R packages ("Zusätzliche R-Pakete installieren")
After I installed slam seperatly over apt-get for example:
sudo apt-get install r-cran-slam
I could install tm the normal way:
install.packages('tm')
And load the library aswell.
I hope my answer helps someone.
I had the same problem as you.
Slam "Depends: R (≥ 3.3.1)", this why I had to perform the following actions to successfully install and load "tm" package:
Update R from 3.2.5 to the latest version 3.3.2
install.packages("tm")
also installing the dependencies ‘NLP’, ‘slam’
package ‘NLP’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package ‘slam’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
package ‘tm’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
library(tm)
I used the following code to install the binary or the older version of slam. It worked for me.
install.packages("slam", type = "binary")
I had the same problem and:
I upgraded RStudio to the latest version (1.0.143)
I upgraded R to the latest version (R.3.3.3)
I rebooted Rstudio
I installed again in RStudio the package "tm"
I ran library(tm)
and everything works fine now.
The latest version of the package "slam" only works for R(>=3.4.0),so you can try either updating your R to the latest version or downloading an early version of the "slam" package.
This is a download link from CRAN for early version of "slam" package: https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.3/slam_0.1-40.tgz.
Apparently the problem seems to be the version of R you are using. Try installing the latest version of R, 3.3.1. That should take care of it.
I am using R3.2.5. I was trying to install "tm". I did install NLP as a dependency but gave me an error :
"package ‘slam’ is not available (for R version 3.2.5)"
The option I had to was to download the zip/tar/gz file(binaries) from https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/slam/index.html and install the package.
It worked for me after that. Although I am not sure what the problem is because the library information mentions it is for R (≥ 3.3.1)
I also had to upgrade to the most recent version of R.
Specifically, on Ubuntu 16.04 here are instructions to get the up to date R version.
I faced this error while installing the "tm" package on R version 3.3.0. Seems like some missing libraries. After I could install the latest version 3.4.1 , i was able to install the package "tm" which installed the 'slam' on its own. Hope this may help somebody.
Just Install NLP package with dependencies = True
Install tm packaged with dependencies = True
And things should work out:)
For Ubuntu, I installed the following two from console and then it got installed.
sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev
sudo apt-get install gfortran
For any such type of issue regarding package not installed, update your R and later reinstall the package. These are the steps you follow:
if(!require(installr)){ install.packages("installr")}
require(installr)} #load the package
updateR()
I am unable to install the RSConnect package in RStudio with R 3.1.2 on OS X El Capitan via:
install.packages('rsconnect')
It's telling me that:
package ‘rsconnect’ is available as a source package but not as a binary
package ‘rsconnect’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)
Is there another way to install this package? The Shiny documentation is a little vague on this subject.
Try install.packages("rsconnect", type = "source")
I am using R 3.1.1 with Ubuntu 13.10. When I am trying to install Rmpfr package, I am getting error
package ‘Rmpfr’ is not available (for R version 3.1.1)
Can someone tell me how to install it?
I've installed devtools for R, but when I call the library with:
library(devtools)
I get the following output:
WARNING: Rtools is required to build R packages, but is not currently installed.
Please download and install Rtools 3.1 from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and then run find_rtools().
So I executed the following code:
install.packages("Rtools", repos = "http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/")
And I get the following output:
Installing package into ‘C:~/Documents/R/win-library/3.0’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/bin/windows/contrib/3.0
Warning message:
package ‘Rtools’ is not available (for R version 3.0.2)
I would appreciate any help that's out there to get Rtools onto my machine so I can call the devtools library. Thank you!
Rtools is not a package. See here: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
I have troubles installing the SVGAnnotation package under R 2.15.3
Because this package is not available at CRAN, I downloaded version 0.93-1 from http://www.omegahat.org/SVGAnnotation/
and try to install it via
install.packages("SVGAnnotation_0.93-1.tar.gz", repos=NULL,
type="source")
Unfortunately, the following problem occurs:
Anyone has an idea how I could get it to work for R 2.15.3?
If you would like to install the most recent version, try
library(devtools)
install_github('duncantl/SVGAnnotation')
