Unable to install rlang

[jcblum]

Hi @igalco14! Welcome!

To understand what’s going on here, you might try reading this discussion about a closely related message that also commonly confuses people:

Meaning of common message when install a package "There are binary versions available but the source versions are later"

When installing packages, the message There are binary versions available but the source versions are later often appears. This is (I think) followed by the question Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?. What does the message mean? And what response (y or n) is recommended and in what situations?

To solve your specific problem, we’ll need some more information. Here are the two things that are most helpful to provide when asking questions about package installation problems:

1. All the console output you see when you try to install the package
2. The output of running sessionInfo()

Here is how you should provide that information:

1. In a new post on a blank line, click the little </> button at the top of the posting box. This will insert a small template with the words “type or paste code here” selected.
2. Copy the output from the console (no screenshots please!)
3. Paste the output here, replacing the “type or paste code here” line in the template,

Following these steps makes it easier for helpers to read what you post and keeps the forum software from garbling it.
