install.packages error Ubuntu R4.2

[HugoGit39]

Hi

I am trying to install emayili on an Ubuntu server with R version 4.2 but i get below error, how come? On my Win R4.3 emayili works perfectly.

 install.packages("emayili")

Hi @HugoGit39,

Firstly, this is not an {emayili} issue. It's a general R package installation issue.

Secondly, I am unable to reproduce the problem. Running the rocker/r-ver:4.2 Docker image (which is effectively R-4.2.3) I am able to install {emayili} and all of its dependencies.

Thirdly, did you read the error message that you posted? Specifically:

ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/home/rstudio/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2’ for modifying
Try removing ‘/home/rstudio/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2/00LOCK-triebeard’

Have you tried the suggestion?

Regards, Andrew.

Hi @datawookie

Yes Im aware that its not specifically a emayili issue :)...just trying to get some help.

I indeed have deleted the 00LOCK-triebeard folder...however when I try install emayili again...the installation kinda freezes at trybeard it seems:

Alright it worked but honestly no clue what went wrong. I got triebeard installed properly and removed the 00LOCK-triebeard folder. However when I wanted to install emayili ...it gave me below message

So I tried remotes::install_github("datawookie/emayili")....which worked :)

Warning in install.packages :

A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,

Understood. But placing an issue on a specific repository is not the best way to do that. Rather post a question on StackOverflow. Or just Google the error message. If you Google "ERROR: failed to lock directory" you'll get back a lot of useful and relevant results.

WRT the error installing {emayili}, what CRAN repository are you using?
