I get the following when trying to install rphylopic on my linux server:

> devtools::install_github("sckott/rphylopic")

However, devtools::install_github("sckott/rphylopic") is working for my OSX R install.

thanks for this @nick-youngblut

i assume you can install other github packges?

[nick-youngblut]

Yeah, it looks like devtools::install_github is the problem. It was just working a bit ago. I wonder what broke it...

Sorry to bug you!

[sckott]
