Dear developers,

I try to install my package (https://github.com/charlottesirot/elementR) from github on my win7 machine without success. I have the same issue than juliasilge/widyr#3 and r-lib/devtools#1265. So I tried with the new version of devtools but it seems not to work:

Try restarting the R session after installing devel devtools.

So just to be sure, I did:

1. Open R
2. run:

> library(devtools)
>devtools::install_github("hadley/devtools", force = T)

Everything is OK

1. I closed R
2. I reopened R
3. and then:

> library(devtools)
> install_github('Rstudio/DT', dependencies = T)

I have the same issue on Windows (R 3.3.2 32bit), and the problem persists after restarting R.

I was seeing something that reminded me of this

When I installed my package which lists shiny as a Depends with install_github it would produce errors about httpuv and Rcpp etc not being installed. I could try to make a minimal test case too if there is interest

I didn't try using the latest devtools because it said it needed Rtools which seemed a little bit heavy duty

I'm still having this issue as well. I have tried devtools 1.12.0 and 1.12.0.9000 (went the Rtools route) in R 3.3.2 and 3.3.3. Nothing I've tried has succeeded in getting the sub-dependencies to be installed, unfortunately.

[rlayfield]

Has anyone discovered a workaround for this? I've been experiencing this in R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31)

[gaborcsardi]

I think this is called by a broken dependency. Try loading the dependencies manually, to see if any of them fails.

[jimhester]

As @gaborcsardi said I think this is often the case that the Rcpp (in this case) installation failed, so any packages which depend on it also fail when R attempts to load the Rcpp namespace.
