Study development - devtools broken?

[rkboyce]

Hi,

The following code worked find last week but is now broke. Devtools installs without error but I can’t install anything else. Any ideas?

rdb20-lnb% R

R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet"

I found how to fix this at least on Ubuntu 14.04:

• Upgraded to R 3.1.3 (see http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/06/install-r-base-3-1-0-ubuntu-14-04/)

• Installed RCurl (thank you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23287685/devtoolsinstall-github-error-in-function-type-msg-aserror-true-not-se)
  $ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
  $ install.packages(‘RCurl’)

• install/re-install devtools
  r-prompt> install.packages(“devtools”)

• install/re-install rJava
  r-prompt> install.packages(“rJava”)

Now it all works again.
