Error installing odkr for R 4.0.0 #36

Closed lpmorenoc closed 4 years ago

lpmorenoc commented 4 years ago

Hi, Today I tried to install the package from GitHub but I am getting the following error. Is it because odkr does not work in R 4.0.0? image

Error: Failed to install 'odkr' from GitHub: System command 'Rcmd.exe' failed, exit status: 1, stdout + stderr: E> checking for file 'C:\Users\lpmor\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpS4ZmQp\remotes3d687afd4b29\validmeasures-odkr-33f920c/DESCRIPTION' ...

Hi. Thanks for your message. Can you let me know which version of odkr you are using and what your system OS is?

I have tested odkr with R4.0.0 in my system and it works as expected. So, I don't think that is the issue. But need to know your setup.

Thanks.

Hi @ernestguevarra. The version of odkr I guess is the master branch on Github (but I am not sure of the exact version number); I am trying to install it using devtools. I have Windows 10 Home and I was using R 4.0.0 (I did not have any issue with R. 3.6.0).

Thank you. I am checking now. I will get back to you right away once I've replicated the issue and offer solutions.

I have been able to replicate the problem. I think that you are correct that this is an R version problem but it is specific to Windows from what I can see. I will need to update the internals of the odkr to be compatible to R4.0.0. How time sensitive is your need for the package? I will aim to get a fix out latest tomorrow morning 10:00GMT. I will keep you posted.

I think for now I just used the old R version and it was working ok. So when the package is updated I will go back to R 4.0.0. Thank you
