I was having a similar problem trying to install a package called AED. I tried using the install.packages() command:

install.packages('FILE_PATH', repos=NULL, type = "source")

but kept getting the following warning message:

Warning message:
In install.packages("/Users/blahblah/R-2.14.0/AED",  :
installation of package ‘/Users/blahblah/R-2.14.0/AED’ had
non-zero exit status

It turned out the folder 'AED' had another folder inside of it that hadn't been uncompressed. I just uncompressed it and tried installing the package again and it worked.

For those of you who are using MacOS and like me perhaps have been circling the internet as to why some R packages do not install here is a possible help  If you get a non-zero exit status first check to ensure all dependencies are installed as well  Read through the messaging  If that is checked off  then look for indications such as gfortran  No such a file or directory  That might be due to Apple OS compiler issues that some packages will not install unless you use their binary version  Look for binary zip file in the package cran r-project org page  download it and use the following command to get the package installed  install packages  quot  PATH zip file  quot   repos   NULL  type  quot source quot

The  zip file provided by the authors is not a valid R package  and they do state that the source is for  direct use  in R  by which I assume they mean it s necessary to load the included functions manually   The non-zero exit status simply indicates that there was an error during the installation of the  package     You can extract the archive manually and then load the functions therein with  e g   source  bivpois table R    or you can download the  RData file they provide and load that into the workspace with load   RData    This does not install the functions as part of a package  rather  it loads the functions into your global environment  making them temporarily available   You can download  extract  and load the  RData from R as follows   download file  http   stat-athens aueb gr  jbn papers files 14 14 bivpois RDATA zip                  f  lt - tempfile    unzip f  exdir tempdir    load file path tempdir      RData      If you want the  RData file to be available in the current working directory  to be loaded in the future  you could use the following instead   download file  http   stat-athens aueb gr  jbn papers files 14 14 bivpois RDATA zip                  f  lt - tempfile    unzip f  exdir tempdir    file copy file path tempdir      RData     bivpois RData     the above copies the  RData file to a file called bivpois RData in your current    working directory  load  bivpois RData     In future R sessions  you can just call load  bivpois RData

I have had the same problem with a specific package in R and the solution was I should install in the ubuntu terminal libcurl  Look at the information that appears above explaining to us that curl package has error installation   I knew this about the message   Configuration failed because libcurl was not found  Try installing     deb  libcurl4-openssl-dev  Debian  Ubuntu  etc     rpm  libcurl-devel  Fedora  CentOS  RHEL     csw  libcurl dev  Solaris  If libcurl is already installed  check that  pkg-config  is in your PATH and PKG CONFIG PATH contains a libcurl pc file  If pkg-config is unavailable you can set INCLUDE DIR and LIB DIR manually via  R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars  INCLUDE DIR     LIB DIR        To install it I used the net command   sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev   Sometimes we can not install a specific package in R because we have problems with packages that must be installed previously as curl package  To know if we should install it we should check the warning errors such as  installation of package    curl    had non-zero exit status   I hope I have been helpful

I had the same problem  but the answer from  little chemist helped me sorting it out  When installing packages from a file in a unix OS  Ubuntu 18 04 for me   the file can not be zipped  You are using    install packages   home p Research 14 bivpois-Rcode zip   repos   NULL  type  source     I noticed the solution was as simple as unzipping the package  Additionally  unzip all  installation related   packages inside  as  little chemist points out  Then use install packages   install packages   home p Research 14 bivpois-Rcode   repos   NULL  type  source     Hope it helps

You can try using command   install packages   package name   dependencies   TRUE   For example is you have to install  caret  package in your R machine in linux   install packages  caret   dependencies   TRUE   Doing so  all the dependencies for the package will also be downloaded

Did you check the gsl package in your system  Try with this   ldconfig-p   grep gsl   If gsl is installed  it will display the configuration path  If it is not in the standard path  usr lib  then you need to do the following in bash    export PATH  PATH  your path to gsl-config    If gsl is not installed  simply do   sudo apt-get install libgsl0ldbl sudo apt-get install gsl-bin libgsl0-dev   I had a problem with the mvabund package and this fixed the error  Cheers
