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

and got the error
Warning in install.packages("shiny") :

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’

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 having trouble installing packages, I was not able to install any. I got the following error in my r console:

The major issue with this problem is that the cli package might not be updated as it often shows 3.1.1 installed but 3.3.0 required. Hence you have two solutions:
install.packages(cli) - there are chances that even this step
might fail as the error message is displayed: "Error in unpacking packages."
Uninstall Cran R and R studio and reinstall it or install the package for replacing the existing one to solve the issue.
This will definitely work as I have solved the issue through this way itself.
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:

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 currently operating in macOS with the R version of 3.6.3.
When I tried to install the package ggm, a warning occurred as follows.
Warning in install.packages :
dependency ‘graph’ is not available
also installing the dependency ‘igraph’
Then when it completed installing, it seemed not to work either:
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘igraph’
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/3.6/site-library/igraph’
ERROR: dependencies ‘igraph’, ‘graph’ are not available for package ‘ggm’
* removing ‘/usr/local/lib/R/3.6/site-library/ggm’
What is happening? I have searched for this error and didn't find anything that helps. Please help me. I'll be much appreciated!
I had the same problem.
To install the package graph you need to install the latest version of Bioconductor (i.e. package called BioManager).
Then you install the package graph and then simply run the installation for the ggm package.
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("graph")
install.packages("ggm")
library(ggm)
The package is then loaded into your R enviroment.
I am trying to install the shiny package in R but I keep getting this error:

If anyone has had this issue in the past I would appreciate the help.
Thanks
Try installing the dependency packages:
install.packages(c("later","promises","rlang"))
After thereafter try to install shiny again:
install.packages("shiny")
Let me know if it works.
I updated r:
install.packages("installr")
and then: updateR()
This made the package run.
Unfortunately, the suggested solution did not solve my case as
I detected the point of glitch as I attempted to install promises, which was magrittr seemed not installed. It was found in the error message lines.
Thus, install.packages("magrittr").
Then promises was installed and httpuv as well.
shiny is now installed normally.
Issue resolved.
When I am running my shiny app in RStudio I get an error message:
packages not found. shiny 1.0 required but 0.14.1. available. Check "repos" Option.
I have tried everything but no luck.
** Update
No I have downloaded the package directly from CRAN, this was the result:

Thank you so much for your attention to my post. Thank you all.
This answer still left me wondering a little, so I thought I'd add a bit. This led me to switching from 64-bit R to 32-bit R. Had to re-install all my packages, but then it worked!
