Re: [R] installation problem for a new package

[Jeff Newmiller]

Do use "reply-all"... others may be able to respond more quickly or more 
accurately than I. I have re-introduced the mailing list to this reply.

For example, if you read [1] it says there is a system requirement that the 
completely separate gmp software be installed using your system software 
installation tools. I happen to be unfamiliar with the details of MacOS system 
administration, so I cannot offer useful guidance other than that you need to 
solve this and that there exists a mailing list dedicated to such 
MacOS-specific questions about R [2]. You can of course simply Google for 
similar threads or blogs about gmp on MacOS to find clues as well.

I will also add that there seem to be a variety of conditions that can cause 
the automatic dependency management features of install.packages() to fail, and 
in such cases it is normal to focus on installing the problematic dependent 
packages one at a time. This is particularly true in this case where there are 
requirements for the dependency beyond what R can deal with, so ignoring advice 
from those with more experience than yourself about focusing on the dependency 
separately is probably less productive than simply following that advice.

Re: [R] installation problem for a new package

[Jeff Newmiller]

These messages seem relevant:

>Error: package �CVXR’ could not be loaded
>Warning messages:
>1: In i.p(...) : installation of package �gmp’ had non-zero exit status

You need to make sure these packages are installed successfully before the 
package you are interested will install.

Please don't send formatted email to this list ... as the Posting Guide 
indicates, the list is for plain text and others may receive a garbled version 
of what you sent it your email program is not configured properly.

On my machine Sys.getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH") returns "" in R and echo 
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH likewise returns only a carriage return from a bash console, 
but I'm on a UNIX box and Linux may be different. You might try posting on 
R-SIG-Debian since Ubuntu is a fork of Debian.

I was able to install the curl library with no problems. However, when I
tried to install ggplot (install.packages("ggplot2")), I got the same
message as earlier, that R can't load internet.so.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Paul,

Please keep the list copied so that others might chime in with suggestions.

I'm afraid "no success" is too vague to be useful. What did you do,
and what errors did you encounter?

Re: [R] installation problem on Ubuntu

Have you read the CRAN  instructions for installing on Ubuntu?  Have you read 
the Posting Guide that mentions the R-sig-debian mailing list and that if you 
need help compiling R this is not the right list?

Re: [R] Installation problem

[peter dalgaard]

Google suggests that that error message is usually associated with cell phone 
browsers, so what exactly are you doing (all steps, including browser info)? I 
doubt that this an issue with R as such, more likely you have a general issue 
with large downloads.

Any particular reason? There are Ubuntu packages available...

 Unfortunately, I think there are some problems with CRAN being able to build

As Charlie notes, the CRAN page lists the Windows version as unavailable, but
links to a README file which details:

The packages
  BRugs, ncdf, RCurl, RDieHarder, RNetCDF, udunits, and XML
do not build out of the box or are special in other circumstances.
Nevertheless these are available at
  http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.9/
kindly provided by Professor Brian D. Ripley.

Thus you can download the Windows zip file from there, and install it using the
install package(s) from local zip files... menu option.

or just say

install.packages(XML)

as that CRAN extras repository is already a default under Windows.

Thanks, Uwe.  I had tried that, with no success.  It turned out that starting 
R with the --internet2 option (chosen when installing R) was not working for 
me to allow access.  I hadn't realised this because installing packages from 
my national CRAN mirror did work, probably because the University that hosts 
it is on my organisation's list of allowed sites.  When I started R with my 
explicit proxy server address, username and password, install.packages
(XML) did indeed work.

Does this imply something about the usefulness of the --internet2 option?

Michael

Looks like you have some network problem and cannot access the 
repositories. Ask you local administrator for help.




  *install.packages( c:/program files/R/XML_2.6-0.tar.gz, type=source,
repos=NULL)*
*Error  :-*  'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.



It is not straightforward nor very easy to install XML from sources.
You'd need a) the tools for compiling packages from source and even then 
you'd need b) to have additional software such as the XML sources and 
need to adapt some files in the XML package.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

Sounds like either:

- The mirror is broken, try a few others
- You are behind a proxy server, configure you machine to use the proxy 
server

  *install.packages( c:/program files/R/XML_2.6-0.tar.gz, type=source,
repos=NULL)*
*Error  :-*  'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
  
This doesn't work in windows if you have not installed the Rtools 
(http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/). Try to install those first, 
or download and install the windows binary version.


cheers,
Paul

Thanks in advance for your help

Kind Regards
