I was trying to install the lavaan package but I encounter the following error message. Do you have any idea how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Joseph

This problem recently came up when I try to install new packages in R 3.2.0. I noticed it when trying to install vegan, but I seem to get the same message for all packages I try to install, including when I try to install manually from a downloaded tar.gz. The entire message I get when I try to install any package is:
utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
also installing the dependency ‘permute’

After looking at previous questions, I tried:
install.packages("vegan", repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org")
but still get the same error. I also tried to reset the repos with:
options(repos=c(CRAN="#CRAN#",
CRANextra="http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin")
But still get the same error, for any package I try to install.
Thanks for any help.
I got the same error when there was no space left on my computer. I cleared some space and it worked!
I hit this error when I try to install rJava package in R. Please help

I have been trying to install the ggplot2 package in R and this is the warning I have been getting:

It might be helpful to note that I am using the version 3.1.1. Could you please help me understand what went wrong and how I could resolve this?
Thank you in advance.
From the comments we discovered that somehow your repos option had been set to a bad value.
install.packages has an argument called repos that can be used to specify where to find the package that you'd like to install. If you specify a valid value, it should just work. e.g. you shouldn't get the error if you do this: install.packages("ggplot2", repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org")
If you do not provide a value, it will look at the repos option. See getOption("repos") to see what is set. In your case it was
CRAN CRANextra
"freestatistics.org/cran" "stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin"
neither of which are valid URLs.
You can change the value of the repos option like this
options(repos=c(CRAN="#CRAN#",
CRANextra="http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin"))
