Dear Rcpp experts, My goal was to install optimx() on a cluster ("Brutus", ETH Zurich). I installed other packages there with no problem. On installing optimx() I received the error message:
## ==== start ==== ** preparing package for lazy loading Error : package 'Rcpp' 0.8.2 was found, but >= 0.8.5 is required by 'minqa' ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘minqa’ * removing ‘/cluster/home/math/hofertj/library/minqa’ The downloaded packages are in ‘/tmp/RtmpauAqix/downloaded_packages’ Warning message: In install.packages("minqa", lib = "/cluster/home/math/hofertj/library") : installation of package 'minqa' had non-zero exit status ## ==== end ==== so my next goal was to install the latest version of Rcpp. On doing so, I obtained: ## ==== start ==== Warning message: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) : package ‘Rcpp’ is not available ## ==== end ==== I found an article [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3391631/installing-rcpp-in-r-2-10-on-ubuntu] in which Dirk suggested to try a different mirror. But I get the same message with other mirrors, e.g., install.packages("Rcpp", repos="http://cran.us.r-project.org"). Why is package 'Rcpp' not available?
