Recently I occasionally encounter this error "tibble 1.1 is not available" yet I couldn't install it. any advice?

install.packages("tibble")

   package 'tibble' is available as a source package but not as a binary

Warning in install.packages :
  package 'tibble' is not available (as a binary package for R version 3.1.3)

    or try to download the binary manually and run install.packages("package", repos=NULL, type = "source") – Aleksandr Ianevski Oct 30 '16 at 13:00

    @AlexNevsky Probably bad advice in this context, given that there is probably a good reason for the version dependency. Better idea might be to compile from source. In case OP is running Windows, this will require installation of the `devtools` package. – tchakravarty Oct 30 '16 at 13:02
  • I tried to upgrade R from 3.1.3 to latest 3.3.1, however, couldn't open the installation pack, it stuck at 'verifying "R-3.3.1.pkg" ' – santoku Oct 30 '16 at 13:23
