Certain R packages will not install properly on my Windows 10 computer. For
example, if I
install.packages('callr')
The result is
trying URL 'https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/callr_3.4.0.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 100129 bytes (97 KB)
downloaded 97 KB
Warning: invalid package 'C:\Users\David'
Warning: invalid package
'Stevens\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpk5NqrI/downloaded_packages/callr_3.4.0.tar.gz'
Error: ERROR: no packages specified
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package �callr� had non-zero exit status
The downloaded source packages are in
�C:\Users\David
Stevens\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpk5NqrI\downloaded_packages�
both using RStudio 1.2.5019 and the Rgui.exe 3.6.2. I look in the download
folder and the callr_3.4.0.tar.gz is there but the installer can't find it.
This happens on only a subset of packages I install or update. I assume the
cause is the space in my name in the c:\users folder. I've been unable to
locate the environment variable or registry value that routes the tar.gz files
to this location. Any ideas on how to fix this? This is a relatively recent
issue (i.e. I never saw it before November - I've used R for ~15 years).
Best regards
David Stevens
