Having problem installing the "export" package

[Shaneyyj]

Hi, thanks for the package~ I tried to install the package using the code as below

devtools::install_github("tomwenseleers/export")

And at the very end it shows:

* installing *source* package ‘export’ ...
** using staged installation
** R
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
** testing if installed package can be loaded from final location
** testing if installed package keeps a record of temporary installation path
* DONE (export)

I thought the package has already installed, yet when I try to load it, I failed.

此外: Warning messages:

2: In get0(oNam, envir = ns) : internal error -3 in R_decompress1

And here is my results of sessionInfo( ), I think this problem may associated with the R version. Since I used to install the package successfully in R version 3.5.

Thanks for giving our package a try!

I think the issue lies in the installation of the broom package. The error you see appears during the loading of that package, hence your session info does not contain it. Loading broom is required in order to use export (see the DESCRIPTION file).

What happens when you isolate the problem and only run library(broom)?

I would suggest you reinstall broom, check if you can load broom (make sure it appears in your sessionInfo) and then load export.

Thanks a lot! The problem was already solved after reinstall broom.
