Issue installing packages - Linux
Hi Lars, A mystery, but for the bodgy characters in your error message. Perhaps there is a problem with R trying to read a different character set from that used in the package. Jim

Hello, I can?t seem to be able to install packages on a redhat-linux-gnu. For instance, this is what happens when I try to install ?bitops?. Any hint on what might be the issue would be much appreciated.

R version 3.2.3 (2015-12-10) Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Sys.setenv(https_proxy="https://labproxy.com:8080") install.packages("bitops", lib="mypath ")
Here I choose: 22: (HTTP mirrors) and then a mirror 16:Canada(ON)
* installing *source* package ?bitops? ...
** package ?bitops? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
Error in readRDS(pfile) : error reading from connection
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ?bitops?
I?ve also tried from the shell (after downloading the package source)
$ R CMD INSTALL bitops_1.0-6.tar.gz
ERROR: cannot extract package from bitops_1.0-6.tar.gz
Thank you,
Lars.
