Hi all!

I have a problem with qiime2R installation in R studio with R version 3.6.1.

Here is the code I’ve used:

install.packages(“devtools”)
devtools::install_github(“jbisanz/qiime2R”)

Devtools were installed correctly but I have a problem with second command which which gives me this error:

Error: (converted from warning) Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using “C”
Execution halted
Error: Failed to install ‘qiime2R’ from GitHub:
(converted from warning) installation of package ‘/var/folders/7y/3bk0drr50qq6dmdb4hr3gwv40000gn/T//RtmpI7EjxB/file198a4cfab921/qiime2R_0.99.12.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status

Any idea, how I can solve this problem?

Best,
Agata

Hi Agata,

This appears to be an issue with R perhaps relating to settings for language. Which operating system are you using? This might help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9689104/installing-r-on-mac-warning-messages-setting-lc-ctype-failed-using-c.

I think your problem is distinct. Try erasing \freja/homedir$/yundum/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/00LOCK-qiime2R-master/ if it exists and reinstall using devtools::install_github if possible.

Hi Jordan,

I am also having problems installing qiime2R. Could you help me, please?

I suspect your problem is related to Rcpp. Try reinstalling it and then try to install qiime2R.

Thanks, Jordan. It was a problem with Rcpp. After updating it, it worked like a charm.

Hi Jordan (@jbisanz)

Thank you,

Strange, I think it is because there is a space in the path to your lib and you are using windows (C:/Users/DELL 5530/Documents/R/win-library/3.6). Possible fixes:
1- try updating to the latest version of devtools
2-download source, and install as I posted here. You may need to manually install the dependencies.
3-move your R libraries to a new directory which avoids ‘DELL 5530’

Dear Jordan,

The problem is arisen from the space as you indicated.

Thank you for your time and help.

Best regards,

Eray
