devtools :: install_github函数错误（type，msg，asError = TRUE）： <not set>

Question

我是第一次尝试通过devtools::install_github安装软件包

l@np350v5c:~$ R --vanilla
> library(devtools)

Attaching package: ‘devtools’

The following objects are masked from ‘package:utils’:

    ?, help

The following object is masked from ‘package:base’:

    system.file

> search()
 [1] ".GlobalEnv"        "package:devtools"  "package:stats"

 [7] "package:datasets"  "package:methods"   "Autoloads"        
[10] "package:base"

但是，例如

Errore in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE)  : <not set>

我尝试了另一个回购但它的行为方式相同。

任何提示？

Answer 1

实际上，我遇到了同样的问题，安装RCurl之后就有了问题。

要在ubuntu中安装RCurl，请在终端中编写以下内容：

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

然后在R：

install.packages('RCurl')

就是这样！

Answer 2

如果无法安装相应版本的libcurl，可以尝试使用“install_git”函数而不是“install_github”。 例如，

library(devtools)
install_git("https://github.com/hadley/devtools.git")

这对我有用。

对不起，这是Debian中r-cran-rcurl包中的一个错误 。 我们最终在Debian发行版中进行了修正， unstable ， testing ，最近stable （Jessie 8.2）。 在Ubuntu中它是固定的wily 。 对不起，感谢您使用Debian或其衍生产品！
