I'm trying to install package without any success. Tried the following two methods:

1. install.packages("rsvg")

install.packages("rsvg")

Installing package into ‘C:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

  There is a binary version available but the source version is
  later:
     binary source needs_compilation
rsvg  2.3.1  2.3.2              TRUE

installing the source package ‘rsvg’

  • Have you tried installing the binary? – Limey Oct 28 '22 at 06:23
  • Yes, I tried `install.packages("rsvg", type = "source")` and got the same error. – MYaseen208 Oct 28 '22 at 07:01
  • Do you have the Rtools build chain installed? – Roman Luštrik Oct 28 '22 at 07:20
  • Reiterating the first comment: Have you tried installing the binary? The code in your response (obviously) doesn't do that. R should ask if you want to build from source and you should click "No". CRAN hasn't build the binary for the newest version of the package yet but if you don't need the newest version, you can just use the existing binary. (Building from source works just fine on my system.) – Roland Oct 28 '22 at 08:09
  • @Roland: Yes I also tried installing the binary and got the same error. – MYaseen208 Oct 28 '22 at 09:17

According to this issue, you should first install pkgconfig like this:

install.packages('pkgconfig')
install.packages('rsvg')
library(rsvg)
#> Linking to librsvg 2.48.4

It looks like you experience some connection issues when installing the required winlib. You could also try to install this first: remotes::install_github("rwinlib/rsvg")

EDIT: Same suggestion as the comment by @Limey
