Answer 1

I had the same issue. Like the previous poster noted (zwartemond), its a bug in igraph. The owner of the github repo fixed the issue but it will take a while for the package to be updated on CRAN, you'll have to wait for some time(around 2 weeks?).

To install igraph package directly from source use devtools:

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("igraph/rigraph")

This worked for me.

Answer 2
