Errors installing plyr / rcpp

Question

I have two computers and in one of them I can\'t manage to install the plyr package for R. This is the error I get:

* installing *source* package ‘plyr’ ...
** p         


        

Answer 1

After having a similar issue myself when trying to install plyr in RStudio on Ubuntu I found the following solution:

sudo apt-get install r-cran-plyr

Just dropping it here to help prevent people from going down quite a rabbit hole, like I did, before finding a working solution.
