Error with installation of new packages in RStudio

General
#1

Hello to all,

I am new here and I am having a lot of problems installing new packages on RStudio.
I have recently installed a new version of Linux (Ubuntu 23.04), R (4.2.2 patched), and Rstudio (2023.03.0 buid 386) but this and I am actually almost unable to install some packages. I guess this is due to lack of proper dependencies.
For example I tried to install the package simRAD but I got this error message:

ERROR: dependency ‘latticeExtra’ is not available for package ‘ShortRead’

  • removing ‘/home/bruno/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2/ShortRead’
    Warning in install.packages :
    installation of package ‘ShortRead’ had non-zero exit status
    ERROR: dependency ‘ShortRead’ is not available for package ‘SimRAD’
  • removing ‘/home/bruno/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2/SimRAD’
    Warning in install.packages :
    installation of package ‘SimRAD’ had non-zero exit status

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpjDTrBA/downloaded_packages’

I use R but not very expert about configuration: anyone has any suggest for me?
Thanks in advance!

If you run

install.packages("laticeExtra")

does it work?
What command exactly are you running to install simRAD?

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. I tried again with this command:

install.packages("SimRAD")
Installing package into ‘/home/bruno/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages :

    Warning in install.packages :

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpEgzp37/downloaded_packages’

Then I tried to install the required dependencies: "ShortRead" and "latticeExtra" but I got an identical error message.
