Hi, when I try to install packages dev versions for example from github I receive this error, how do I fix it please ?
I am on windows 10 x64 R 4.1.1 RStudio newest daily.
Thank you for help.
That small extract of an error message only tells you that the installation failed for the 32-bit architecture but give us not clue about the cause.
My best guess is that you have a 32-bit R version installed in your system but no 32-bit compiler properly installed. If you don't need the 32-bit version I recommend you to uninstall it
Thank you andresrcs, how do I uninstall only 32 bit R version please ?
When I installed R 4.1.1 I just ticked both 32 and 64 as usual but now I have got problems with installing and compiling dev packages.

I have the same problem, I want to uninstall de 32 bits version, but no idea.
Were you able to solve it?
Hello @andresrcs, do you know how to uninstall the 32-bit R version without uninstalling the 64-bit version?
I don't remember if you have that option, if available, it should be listed as a 32bit program in your installed programs list in Windows and you would only need to click on "uninstall". I can't check my self because I only have the 64-bit version installed.
Anyways, even if you don't have that option, uninstalling R completely and reinstalling the 64-bit version only, shouldn't take much time so I would say, give it a try.
And this is what I did. I completely uninstalled whole R and installed again only x64 version of R.
There is no option to uninstall only 32 bit version.
That works.
