Error while installing ggbiplot - object 'digest_impl' not found

Question

When installing ggbiplot I get the following error:

> library(devtools)
> install_github("vqv/ggbiplot")

Downloading GitHub repo vqv/ggbiplot@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/vqv/ggbiplot/zipball/master
Installing ggbiplot
Error in `_digest`(c(list(repos, type), lapply(`_additional`, function(x) eval(x[[2L]],  : 
  object 'digest_impl' not found

Obviously it is missing something. Any suggestions to fix this?

Seconded. On my system, I suspect it got something to do with Rtools. — Lucas Soares, Mar 18 '16 at 13:49
@stackoverflowuser2010 I did many things, I don't really remember which one solved the issue. Updated R, Updated RStudio, removed non-standard characters from the R path, put Rtools on the system PATH variable, changed folder permissions such that my user could write on the folder R saves packages. I suspect the two last steps were the *real* solution. — Lucas Soares, May 25 '16 at 16:41
@LucasSoares: I figured it out. I updated R from 3.1.x to 3.2.4, and it fixed the problem. — stackoverflowuser2010, May 25 '16 at 17:45

you could try to install package digest first, via

install.packages("digest")
