Having difficulty installing under R 3.3

[FarrelBuch]

I do not know the source of my problem. Does the following mean anything to you? If so can you suggest a troubleshooting avenue or two that I can go down.

install_github("rasmusab/bayesian_first_aid") has always worked in the past but now I get this

[rasmusab]

The warning "R Warning: unable to re-encode 'bayes_prop_test.R' line 8" should not be the problem, and I would expect there to to be some error message in addition to "Error: Command failed (5)"...

The text you pasted here, is that the full error message?

[FarrelBuch]

Yes, that is the full message.

[rasmusab]

Still, could you just rerun install_github("rasmusab/bayesian_first_aid") and paste the whole output within two backticks (`) so that it formats as code?

[FarrelBuch]

OK here is what I got tonight

[rasmusab]

I still have no clue why this occurs... Similar errors mentions problems with paths on windows:

https://groups.google.com/forum/embed/#!topic/rdevtools/Op_rzDbonW4
r-lib/devtools#353

But for your particular problem I still don't know...

[jpneto]

I'm updating my R/RStudio and reinstalling a lot of packages. When I tried to reinstall bayesian_first_aid I was stuck. I'm sending the output log below. In short, the problem, whatever it is, produces: "ERROR: loading failed for 'i386'" which me and google don't understand. Sometimes it crashes after printing "arch - i386". My .libPaths() is ok, according to the links above.

Anyway, at least there's a way to install the basic package (without vignettes, demos, etc.):

devtools::install_github("rasmusab/bayesian_first_aid", quick=TRUE)

[rasmusab]

@jpneto and @FarrelBuch , what operating systems are you on? (I'm guessing windows, from your output)

[rasmusab]

Also, are you able to install other packages from github without using the quick=TRUE argument, for example:

library(devtools)
install_github('ggplot2')

[jpneto]

@rasmusab, yes, I'm using Windows 7, 64bit

I already installed another package using install_github without the quick=TRUE.

[rasmusab]

I changed the source so that you hopefull shouldn't get the warning Warning: unable to re-encode 'bayes_prop_test.R' line 8 . Does this solve the problem?

[jpneto]

I'm afraid not... I forked your project and changed those chars yesterday, but the problem remained :-(

[FarrelBuch]

I'm using Windows 8 on one computer and 10 on another. I have been able to
install other packages from github but when I get a chance I am willing to
try again to make sure i am not confabulating memories from a few weeks
ago. In the meantime I found a workaround. I simply copied the directory
from my 3.2 installation into my 3.3 installation. Everything worked just
fine after that.

I am able to install ggplot2 from github but alas not bayesian_first_aid. Here is my command and the response.

library(devtools)
