I recently upgraded my MacOS to Yosemite and then faced R problems with all kinds of packages.

Installing GTrendsR
Installing dependencies for GTrendsR:

Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
  call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
  error: unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so':

Can someone provide me with a solution to this problem?

There is a possibility that you are running a version of R that is not compatible with the package you are trying to install. You need to update R for this package to work.

  • Make sure that your Mac OS X system is up-to-date by running Software Update from the "apple" menu at the top-left of the screen.

  • Install R from here:
    http://rweb.quant.ku.edu/cran/bin/macosx/R-3.1.3-mavericks.pkg

  • Then in your terminal try to install the package:devtools::install_github("dvanclev/GTrendsR")
