today I upgraded to R 3.3.0... oh boy.. wish I stayed at the previous version. The last few hours I have been trying to solve some issues to install car and sjPlot, but problems remain. When installing sjPlot everything goes fine, but when setting the library, I get this error:

         error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]) : 
         there is no package called ‘quantreg’
         Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘sjPlot’

Something similar occurs with car, during installation:

       installing the source package ‘quantreg’

Any thoughts on what I can do to solve this?? Thanks

  • Does the same thing happen if you try to install quantreg directly? I happened to have installed it today when I updated to R 3.3.0 and it worked fine. – aosmith Jun 07 '16 at 23:20
  • Yes, I tried, same message as with installing car... unfortunately – user6121484 Jun 07 '16 at 23:28
  • There are some hits if you search the error message that you might find useful, such as [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32142068/installing-rcmdr-car-quantreg-packages-in-os-x) and [here](http://www.talkstats.com/showthread.php/58802-package-installation-error-quantreg) – aosmith Jun 07 '16 at 23:38
  • Don't install quantreg from the sources but only from older binary version if possible. Does this help? That said, I probably coild move the car package from the imports to the suggestions in my sjPlot package because the car-functions I use are only needed for plotting model assumptions. – Daniel Jun 08 '16 at 07:05
  • I solved it by saying "no" to R when it asks: Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? y/n Hope this is not going to give problems :) – user6121484 Jun 09 '16 at 10:30
