Installation of package had non-zero exit status

Hi @JamesHallam ,
Thanks for the update.

@JamesHallam

I have a 3.4 folder inside of /Users/jameshallam/Library/R/.

Am I okayed delete this and reinstall 4.0?

If you reinstall 4.0, the R packages from 3.4 will still be in "~/Library/R/3.4/library".

What I usually do is upgrade my version of R, but before I delete the old version folder, I save the names of the packages from the old version, and reinstall the packages in the folder for the new version.

oldpkgs <- installed.packages(lib.loc = "~/Library/R/3.4/library")
install.packages(oldpkgs[, 1], lib = "~/Library/R/4.0/library")

After this, it's safe to delete the old folder ~/Library/R/3.4
