install_github crash on RStudio Mac .98 R 3.1.1

[mylesg]

I have the below to load rmaps

load packages

require(devtools) install_github('ramnathv/rCharts@dev') install_github('ramnathv/rMaps') install.packages("choroplethr") library(rMaps) library(choroplethr)

But when it exectues the install_gitbub..... R crashes.

Can't tell if it is the new R version, the new Rstudio version or something on the Mac.

Thoughts?

[ramnathv]

Can you try installing another package from github to check if the issue is related to rMaps at all in the first place?

[mylesg]

Thanks. I think we are narrowing.

So I did this:

require(devtools) install_github("roxygen")

And it crashed too.

(I rarely use github tools)

[ramnathv]

I would report this on the devtools issues page, since install_github is a devtools function and you seem to be having trouble with other packages. While reporting this there, make sure to include the output of sessionInfo() as it would help understanding your R configuration.

[mylesg]

This group?

https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues

[ramnathv]

Yes.

[mylesg]

thanks- on there now. Appreciate it. Had your package working yesterday. Loved it. Was planning to show it to my students on Wed.

[mylesg]

One more. I moved to my Windows 7 partition to get it to work.

I get a different error- It loads the first one (rCharts) but then fails on the github...rmaps

Says: Warning message: package ‘rCharts’ is not available (for R version 3.1.1)

[ramnathv]

I fixed that bug in the master branch, but failed to do it in dev. As a workaround, run this first before reinstalling rMaps as you have done before.

install.packages('base64enc')

[mylesg]

Thanks. Just did. Exact same fail.

[ramnathv]

I meant reinstalling both rCharts and rMaps as you did before. If you read the error message posted earlier, it is failing to install rCharts in the first place.

[mylesg]

This is my sequence: It fails when it hits both install_githubs on the rChart.

[ramnathv]

Can you try installing the master branch of rCharts?

devtools::install_github('ramnathv/rCharts')

[mylesg]

Assuming I understood. I just ran that line.

[ramnathv]

Are you able to install any package from github on this machine?

[mylesg]

Just been trying. Can't get any today (i did this yesterday successfully). Let me move to another machine.

[mylesg]

If you are interested. I sent the same code sequence to a friend of mine. Different set-up, different company, etc. He got this error set.

[ramnathv]

His error is also because on not installing base64enc which the dev branch of rCharts needs.

[rlzijdeman]

Justed wanted to share I had a similar issue as reported above, and that installing 'base64enc' resolve it.

[boyanangelov]

+1 for installing "base64enc" before that.
