Problem installing package "glue": Compilation failed/non-zero exit status

[emajuan]

Hi, I can't install the "glue" package (which I need to install "dplyr"), R tell me that the compilation failed and something about a non-zero exit status. Sorry I'm super rookie on R and programming

> install.packages("glue")
Installing package into ‘C:/Users/emanu/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.6’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
     binary source needs_compilation
glue  1.3.1  1.3.2              TRUE

installing the source package ‘glue’

Hi, and welcome!

For future coding-related questions, please see the FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I do one? Using a reprex, complete with representative data will attract quicker and more answers. This question doesn't require one.

It looks like you're missing RTools. See this link

The problem is happening with 32 bit R, maybe you don't have an Rtools installation of matching architecture, do you have any particular reason for using the 32 bit version, I also use to have installation problems with it so I decided to only install the 64 bit version.

I have a guess that it's because you installed RTools in program files, which have space in path. Try install it again to just c:\RTools

emajuan, I had the same problem (and I was using 64bit R). My version of RTools was dated (3.2) and when I uninstalled it and installed RTools 3.5 it worked.

Got it, thank you all for the answers
