R package 'spatstat': installation problems

Question

The installation of the 'spatstat' package works fine. But when I load the package with >library(spatstat) I get the following response:

Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : es gibt kein Paket namens ‘goftest'

In addition: Warning message:

Paket ‘spatstat’ wurde unter R Version 3.0.3 erstellt

Error: Laden von Paket oder Namensraum für ‘spatstat’ fehlgeschlagen

translated to English:

Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) : package ‘goftest' does not exist

In addition: Warning message:

Paket ‘spatstat’ has been created under R Version 3.0.3

Error: Loading of package and namespace for ‘spatstat’ failed

Any ideas what's wrong? I re-installed it numerous times and still get the same error.

Please state your operating system (Windows/Linux/OSX...) As well as your version of R and how you installed spatstat (from source/binary). It appears you don't have the package goftest installed. Did you try to install it?

install.packages("goftest")

Note that you need R version 3.1.1 or higher to run the latest version of spatstat (and goftest needs 3.1 or higher).

The old R-version was the problem - shame on me. – Ingo Hartmeyer Mar 16 '15 at 14:39
Nothing to be ashamed of. Thanks for actually following up and accepting the answer. Remember to state your `sessionInfo()` when you ask R questions of this type; that would have made it even easier to point to the problem. – Ege Rubak Mar 16 '15 at 21:55
Okay, good to know! Thank you again for your quick and helpful response. – Ingo Hartmeyer Mar 17 '15 at 23:03
