package 'stringi' does not work after updating to R3.2.1

package 'stringi' does not work after updating to R3.2.1

I saw a version of this question posted, but still did not see the answer. I am trying to use ggplot2 but get the following errors (everything worked this morning using R3.0.2 'frisbee sailing' with RStudio version 0.98.1102.

I updated both R and Rstudio and now get the following:

library(ggplot)  Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :              there is no package called ?stringi?              Error: package or namespace load failed for ?ggplot2?  

So naturally I tried:

Any suggestions on how to get 'stringi' to install? I'm not real familiar with the error output. Should I just try to go back to older versions of R and Rstudio? Ultimately I'm worried that this will be the tip of the iceberg in terms of packages now not working with the updated R

oh and:

You need to install the command line tools for Xcode per the instructions here:

Answer by Marek for package 'stringi' does not work after updating to R3.2.1

You are victim of install.packages.check.source options which cause R to try install package from sources if sources are newer than binary. Which happens when package is updated (binaries shows up <72 after sources). Which was a case with stringi (look at messages you got: here is a binary version available but the source version is later).

I set

options(install.packages.check.source = "no")  

in my .Rprofile file to not be worried by install.packages. All I need to do is wait for binaries to be compiled.

Answer by robJ for package 'stringi' does not work after updating to R3.2.1

I had the same problem. Marek's comment above, that install.packages is looking for the source instead of the binary because it's newer, was correct for me too. But his suggestion to use the "options" line didn't work for me for some reason. This, however, did work:

install.packages("stringi",type="mac.binary")  

This is much easier than trying to install a compiler through Xcode to process the source package.

In windows 8 run R as administrator solved the issue for me.

Answer by yl33 for package 'stringi' does not work after updating to R3.2.1

I tried install.packages("stringi") and it caused my R Studio to stop recognizing the packages I had installed.

I solved it by running this command. Hope it helps:

install.packages("stringi", repos="http://cran.rstudio.com/", dependencies=TRUE)
