I recently updated my R and RStudio to the latest version and now the binary option in the "build" command in devtools stops working.
I went around and used the binary=F option which worked by I get the .tar.gz file instead of the .zip file which I prefer. Does anyone understand the following error message: status 127 running 'zip' failed === setwd("A:/R/yenlib/"); library(devtools) #build("yenlib",binary=T) # Thisfailed with an error message build("yenlib",binary=F) # This works > build("yenlib",binary=T) "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-33~1.1/bin/x64/R" --no-site-file \ --no-environ --no-save --no-restore --quiet CMD INSTALL \ "A:\R\yenlib\yenlib" --build * installing to library 'C:/Users/syen01/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmp8A7KEw/temp_libpath4074149a528e' * installing *source* package 'yenlib' ... ** R ** data ** preparing package for lazy loading ** help *** installing help indices ** building package indices ** testing if installed package can be loaded *** arch - i386 *** arch - x64 * MD5 sums Warning: running command '"zip" -r9Xq "A:/R/yenlib/yenlib_16.3.zip" yenlib' had status 127 running 'zip' failed * DONE (yenlib) [1] "A:/R/yenlib/yenlib_16.3.zip" > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
