Error during installation - fails to install bsts

[brieh]

Hi there,

I'm installing Causal Impact in R for the first time.

Installation fails because installation of bsts fails:

* installing *source* package 'bsts' ...
** package 'bsts' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
** libs

*** arch - i386
C:/Rtools/mingw_32/bin/g++  -std=gnu++11 -I"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-36~1.1/include" -DNDEBUG -I`C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-36~1.1/bin/Rscript -e "cat(system.file(package='Boom'))"`/include -DADD_ -DR_NO_REMAP -DRLANGUAGE -I"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.1/library/Boom/include"        -O2 -Wall  -mtune=generic -c aggregate_time_series.cc -o aggregate_time_series.o

It says "No such file or directory" for C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.1/library/Boom/include (or does it?) but this folder exists and has plenty of stuff in it.

Here is my sessionInfo():

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brie, What happens if you just call ` install.packages("bsts") ` from inside R? Looks like you're running cygwin, so you're on a windows box. I'd think R would grab the prebuilt version from CRAN, so you wouldn't need the compiler to get involved.

Sorry should've included this part in the original post. This is what I get and I'm asked if I want to install from sources:

> install.packages("bsts")

  There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
     binary source needs_compilation
bsts  0.9.6  0.9.7              TRUE

installing the source package ‘bsts’

trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/bsts_0.9.7.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 298345 bytes (291 KB)

'\\MYHOMEDIR\ONMY\WORKCOMPUTER$'

Okay, answering "No" to the question of whether I want to install from sources caused it to install with no problem. Consider this closed. Thank you for your time.

Great. You won't need the cutting edge of bsts to do CausalImpact. Glad you're up and running.
