R help - Feb 2016 - Error : package 'xxx' was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it

Hello,

 

Here are the steps to the error:

 

1.       Uninstall R version 2.x.y.

2.       Install the latest version (3.2.3) of R. 

3.       Copy all my libraries that were not in the new version into the new
R library.

4.       Run  "> update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE)" under
R-Studio. 

 

                Many packages were updated but for some I received:

 

                "Error : package 'xxx' was built before R 3.0.0:
please
re-install it" error. 

 

                Here is an example:

 

* installing *source* package 'agricolae' ...

* package 'agricolae' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

** R

** data

** inst

** preparing package for lazy loading

Error : package 'spdep' was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it

Warning in install.packages :

The downloaded source packages are in

                If I try to install "spdep" package first I get the
following error:

 

 
> install.packages("spdep")
also installing the dependency 'sp'
 
Packages which are only available in source form, and may need compilation
of C/C++/Fortran:
  'sp' 'spdep'
  These will not be installed

 

How can I fix such errors? I can  

 
                    Thank you.

Which mirror are you using?

spdep is availabe in binary form for Windows and R-3.2.3 and should be 
installed without the need for compilation.

Best,
Uwe Ligges

You were trying to install pkg:agricolae before one of its dependencies was
updated. I think they get updated alphabetically.  So you may need to re-run the
update.packages command multiple times so that the required updates are
available.

Seems fairly self-explanatory. You need to install the source version of the
packages named. See the appropriate section of the "R Installation and
Administration Manual".
