Background: I am creating an app on IBM Bluemix which involves using DashDB. From there I opened R Studio.

I am new to R, and I am trying to install rworldmap on R Studio. While installing the same i checked the Install Dependencies button. The installation failed and gave some errors during the spam package installation.

The installer then tries to install the below dependencies (packages):

  • spam
  • fields

spam package Installation Warnings/Error Logs:
