4 years ago knitr doesn't require the version 0.18 of xfun. If you have an old version of xfun installed, it should work fine. If you don't, CRAN usually builds the binary packages two days after the source package is submitted and published. If you don't want to wait, you can install Rtools to install the source package of xfun from CRAN. Thanks!

4 years ago You didn't provide the session info requested by the issue guide above, so I don't know your R version. CRAN has the xfun v0.17 binaries for R 3.6.x and 4.x: https://cran.r-project.org/package=xfun If you only have 0.13, it is either that your R version is too old, or your CRAN mirror is too outdated.

4 years ago The issue guide actually also asked you to update R. If you followed the guide more carefully, you probably wouldn't have this problem. Anyway, feel free to let me know if upgrading R doesn't solve the problem. Thanks!

4 years ago It’s a corporate laptop that has draconian lockdowns (I wish it were so simple). But this is super helpful information - thanks again!

4 years ago I just received the automated email from CRAN that the binary will be available in a couple of hours, but it won't solve your problem since currently CRAN doesn't build binaries for R versions below 3.6. You'll have to either upgrade R (to be able to install the newer binary package), or install Rtools (to be able to install the newer source package).

This is a dependency for knitr
By filing an issue to this repo, I promise that
xfun::session_info('xfun'). I have upgraded all my packages to their latest versions (e.g., R, RStudio, and R packages), and also tried the development version:remotes::install_github('yihui/xfun').I understand that my issue may be closed if I don't fulfill my promises.
