Hi there, any idea what's causing this error when installing units package?

Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘units’ had non-zero exit status

NoushinN commented 4 years ago

It worked, installed without compiling

Hi, I am new to R and facing the same issue. Could you please put down the steps you took to resolve it?

Hi @mustafab325...sure, so you can type: install.packages("units") in which case it starts to install the package and asks if you would like to install from source which requires compilation. The answer to that question for me had to be no and so it started intall in my local library. That solved the issue because if I chose yes then it goes the compilation with c+ route and I get an error at the end saying the package had no non-zero exit status.

It might be the way R environment is configured on our terminals...but the trick was answering no. Let me know if it helps

On windows and Mac OSX, CRAN distributes binary install of packages. If you're new to R, always use those.
