Problem installing package in R (Rcpp problem) #3

Closed JosephCrispell closed 5 years ago

JosephCrispell commented 5 years ago

When I try and install the homoplasyFinder R package (using devtools::install_github("JosephCrispell/homoplasyFinder")).

I get the following error: Cannot remove prior installation of package 'Rcpp'

This is an error with the Rcpp package. To fix it you need to locate this package folder on your computer, remove the folder, and re-install the package.

You can use .libPaths() to find out where your R packages are installed.

Ideally you should remove the Rcpp package and any other packages that rely on it (such as ape). Then you can re-install all the packages you deleted by typing: install.package("packageName")
