I'am trying to install the package "Rdimtools" for unsupervised feature selection.
I have this error:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘Rdimtools’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]): there is no package called ‘shapes’
According to this message, I was triying to install the package "shapes" and this was the output:
Error in library.dynam(dynlib, pkg, lib) :
DLL 'rgl' not found: maybe not installed for this architecture?
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'shapes':
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rgl', details:
call: NULL
error: Loading rgl's DLL failed.
I already have installed the "rgl" package at my active packages. Who knows how to handle this kind of error?
rgl might have system dependencies for its full functionality ?
OpenGL and GLU Library (Required for display in R. See "Installing OpenGL support" in README.md. Not needed if only browser displays using rglwidget() are wanted.), zlib (optional), libpng (>=1.2.9, optional), FreeType (optional), pandoc (>=1.14, needed for vignettes)

You are explaining if I used the "dependencies= TRUE " during the installation of required packages?
I have been trying with this code and it doesn't effect
No, that dependencies param relates to package dependencies. But this would be a system dependency
but now I'm thinking maybe your rgl just simply didnt install as it should have ?
Can you show the output of you installing rgl, and how its ok installed message looks ?
can you tell what operating system you use; according to the readme, for windows it would just work; if linux/mac you may need to do more.
## REQUIREMENTS
**For OpenGL display:**
Windowing System (unix/x11 or Windows)
OpenGL Library
OpenGL Utility Library (GLU)
**For WebGL display:**
A browser with WebGL enabled. See <https://get.webgl.org>.
## Installing OpenGL support
**Debian and variants including Ubuntu:**
aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
**Fedora:**
yum install mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU-devel libpng-devel
**macOS:**
Install XQuartz.
`rgl` should work with XQuartz 2.7.11 or newer, but it will probably
need rebuilding if the XQuartz version changes. XQuartz normally needs
re-installation whenever the macOS version changes.
**Windows:**
Windows normally includes OpenGL support, but to get the appropriate
include files etc., you will need the appropriate version of
[Rtools](https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) matched to your
R version.
I reinstalled the rgl package again and an error appeared. I share the output in the console of RStudio:
Error : package 'rgl' is not installed for 'arch = i386'
Error: loading failed
Ejecución interrumpida
*** arch - x64
Warning: package 'geometry' was built under R version 4.0.5
Warning: package 'rgl' was built under R version 4.0.3

removing 'C:/Users/nicolas ayala/Documents/R/win-library/4.0/alphashape3d'
Warning in install.packages :

With the idea of share my session info with you; I also have tryied to install the package "sessioninfo" and it show me this error. I don't know if they two errors ('rgl' and 'sessioninfo') are linked.
installing source package 'cli' ...
** package 'cli' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

lets start at the first step. You are windows OS user;
You will need Rtools (its not a package but a utility for your system)
do you have Rtools ? https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
What did I was uninstall R, RStudio and Rtools. I made sure to remove all libraries and dependencies.
Then I installed R, RStudio and Rtools again. Finally, the package "Rdimtools" and "sessioninfo" were installed succesfully. I attach the console output of install.packages("Rdimtools"). I realized that associated packages were installed correctly

After doing some tests, I noticed that I was having this problem too "Updating Loaded Packages - One or more of the packages that will be updated by installation are currently loaded. Restarting R prior to updating these packages is strongly recommended". I looked for some solution ideas from this link: "installed-packages-endless-loop-updating-loaded-packages-one-or-more"
Perhaps updating the packages would have been the final solution (as the main recommendation of mentioned link) but the process was taking two hours so I opted for the idea of reinstalling everything again as I indicated at the beginning (It finally took about 20 minutes in total).
Thank you for your help and share your ideas nirgrahamuk
