I'm trying install the waffle package but i'm not having sucess. When i do require, the folowwing message appers to me:

Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : there is no package called ‘Rttf2pt1’.

I already tried install the Rttf2pt1 package before the waffle, but appears a error message when i do require:

In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, : there is no package called ‘Rttf2pt1’.

  • To install packages, you use `install.packages()`, not `library()`. The latter only loads previously installed packages. So did you run `install.packages("Rttf2pt1")`? How did you try to install `waffle`? What R version are you running? – MrFlick Feb 14 '18 at 15:06
  • i used install.packages for both packages. i just show the last outuput, because the error shows up when i tried require. I'm using 3.4.2 version. – Camila Ribeiro Feb 14 '18 at 15:15
  • If the require didn't work, that means there was probably an error during the install step. That would be the import error message to share. – MrFlick Feb 14 '18 at 15:16
  • `waffle` package author here confirming that this is a pkg management issue on your system vs a waffle pkg issue itself – hrbrmstr Feb 14 '18 at 15:25

This seems like a setup issue. Using .libPaths(), see where your libraries are stored and then ensure that both Rttf2pt1 and waffle are residing where your R basic library packages are stored. If not, move the folders corresponding these packages to the folder where basic R libraries are and that ought to solve this issue.

So do-

install.packages("Rttf2pt1", dependencies = TRUE)
library(Rttf2pt1)
install.packages("waffle", dependencies = TRUE)
library(waffle)

And then check in the library (C:/Users/user name/Documents/R/win-library/3.4) and you should see folders named waffle and Rttf2pt1, if everything worked well.

If that still doesn't work, try the following

install.packages("devtools", dependencies = TRUE)
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/waffle")
library(waffle)

  • Thank you, Indrajeet. I moved the waffle package but i can´t so the same with Rttf2pt1, because he can´t be installed: 2: In install.packages("Rttf2pt1") : installation of package ‘Rttf2pt1’ had non-zero exit status > require(Rttf2pt1) Carregando pacotes exigidos: Rttf2pt1 Warning message: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, : there is no package called ‘Rttf2pt1’ – Camila Ribeiro Feb 14 '18 at 15:11
  • @CamilaRibeiro Hmm, have you tried reinstalling it `install.packages("waffle", dependencies = TRUE)` and then rechecking with `.libPaths()`? – Indrajeet Patil Feb 14 '18 at 15:15
  • @CamilaRibeiro If everything goes fine, you should see both of these packages (`Rttf2pt1` and `waffle`) in the folder `C:/Users/user name/Documents/R/win-library/3.4` – Indrajeet Patil Feb 14 '18 at 15:18
  • I tried with dependencies=TRUE, but the Rttf2pt1 continues not installed. :( I looked in the folder, just waffle package shows up. > require("Rttf2pt1") Carregando pacotes exigidos: Rttf2pt1 Warning message: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, : there is no package called ‘Rttf2pt1’ – Camila Ribeiro Feb 14 '18 at 15:25
  • @CamilaRibeiro Don't use `require(Rttf2pt1)`. Do `install.packages("Rttf2pt1", dependencies = TRUE)` and then `library(Rttf2pt1)` – Indrajeet Patil Feb 14 '18 at 15:29
  • @CamilaRibeiro See my edited response. I provide another way to install a package that may resolve this issue. – Indrajeet Patil Feb 14 '18 at 16:44
