Error installing vctrs

[randrescastaneda]

Dear all,

Today, I upgraded from R 3.6.6 to 4.0.2 and followed the instructions in this chapter to update all my packages. However, I am finding an error when installing the vctrs package.

You may find below the error that I got and my sessionInfo(). I Would highly appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Sometime else just posted this same thing today. You just need to install the previous version of vctrs

Basically I need to install the package SixSigma, but it seems to require the vctrs package, which I don't understand how to install. Note : My Rstudio seems to use a weird mix of french and english.

Awesome. Thank you so much! sorry for my ignorance. I should've thought about it before. Since the current version of vctrs is 0.3.4, I installed 0.3.3 by doing the following and it worked fine.

remotes::install_version("vctrs", version = "0.3.3", repos = "http://cran.us.r-project.org")

Thanks.
Best,
