Installation issue
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hi!
I am using R version 4.1.1 and I am trying to install FuncDiv, but it is unsuccessful.
I tried both with
library(devtools) install_github("gavinmdouglas/FuncDiv", ref = "main")
as well as by downloading release v0.4.2 and building it from source, but in both cases I get the same error
Error in parseNamespaceFile(package, package.lib, mustExist = FALSE) : unable to re-encode some lines in NAMESPACE file Calls: <Anonymous> ... withCallingHandlers -> loadNamespace -> parseNamespaceFile Execution halted ERROR: lazy loading failed for package FuncDiv removing C:/Program Files/R/R-4.1.1/library/FuncDiv
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Hi @cpavloud,
Thanks for reporting this issue. I'm in the middle of updating FuncDiv and making sure it passes CRAN checks (which should ensure that it installs correctly on Windows). I'm not sure what the problem is at the moment, but I'll notify you once the new version is released (or if I identify a quick fix).
Hey @cpavloud,
I believe this error should not be resolved in the latest development version!
For details:
After looking into this more I believe this was due to the '^' symbol being interpreted incorrectly on Windows (I think this happened because I copied the relevant line to add to the NAMESPACE from a website).
You can see what I mean by the comparison of the old and new lines, where the '^' is clearly different:
Oh, wow!
This is one of the errors that can drive a developer crazy...!
Everything is great now, I installed it and it works fine!
Thank you!
Great to hear! :)
