使 rtools40 在 Parallels VM 中的 Windows 10 中的 Rstudio 1.2.5042 和 TERR（Tibco Engine R）上工作

Question

EDIT: The problem ended up to be that TERR 5.1.0 is actually based on R 3.6. and therefore Rtools35 was needed. The second problem was that I was trying to install the packages to a network location that was set as default for Rstudio due to the fact that it is installed within Parallels VM.

I've been struggling with this problem for the last few days. There are many posts on how to solve issues with rtools40, and I read everything I could find, but it still didn't solve this issue. It could be that the issue stems from the fact that I have to use Rstudio and TERR (TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R =) and not R, and also everything is run within Parallels VM.

When installing a package (in this case it's Vegan, but also tried devtools, tidyverse and others) I get these are the errors:

> install.packages("vegan", verbose = TRUE)

I also tried changing the mingw32 to mingw64.

I would appreciate any suggestion as to how this can be solved!

Answer 1

You have the wrong version of Rtools.

From https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ :

This documentation is about rtools40, the current version used for R 4.0.0 and newer. For information about previous versions of Rtools that can be used with R 3.6.3 or older, please visit this page .

You have two ways to remedy this:

1. Upgrade R to be R-4.0 or newer. You might uninstall R-3.6 if you choose, but as long as your tools use the correct version of R-4 or newer, then it doesn't matter (you can have parallel version of R typically without much problem).

2. Downgrade to Rtools35. While you can keep Rtools40 around, you'll need to make sure that the PATH that R sees does not include Rtools40, which can be accomplished in the system configuration on env-vars, in your ~/.Rprofile / ~/.Renviron , or in a project-specific version of those two files. (Or manually, every ... time ... you ... start ... R.)

It sounds like it's a computer on which you have control and admin rights, so unless you have reason to stay on R-3.6.2 (eg, compatibility with others' systems, or your projects are not yet tested on R-4) then I'd recommend option 1.
