Namespace load failed #151

Closed RogueMedic closed 2 years ago

RogueMedic commented 2 years ago

Please excuse if this is a repeat of discussion I did not see it in the listings.

Background: I am new to using R and I am attempting to load the 'Hmisc' package for a statistics class. I am running R 4.1.1 However it appears that the system begins to load appropriately but I receive the below notes:

install.packages('Hmisc') Warning in install.packages : unable to access index for repository https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/contrib/4.1: cannot open URL 'https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/macosx/contrib/4.1/PACKAGES' trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/contrib/4.1/Hmisc_4.6-0.tgz' Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 3259927 bytes (3.1 MB)

downloaded 3.1 MB

and: The downloaded binary packages are in /var/folders/yg/bm2yvjcd4m3c55ws6tzfssk40000gn/T//RtmppSURAG/downloaded_packages

If I attempt to load the library I receive:

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

fair warning I have next to zip on programing skills. I am a critical care paramedic and firefighter by nature so I am good with fixing broken people not computer systems. I will say I am sure there is a step I am missing but I cannot see it.

Any assistance would be most welcomed.

Thank you AJ

Hi @RogueMedic, Just saw your problem. The error message when loading library(Hmisc) indicates that the package stringi is not present. This can be installed via install.packages('stringi') as already known from Hmisc.

After that library(Hmisc) should work, if no other packages are missing and have to be installed first ...
