copied!<p>It's because your Rlib path has a space in it: <code>C:/Users/Muhammad Yasseen/R/win-library/2.14</code>.</p> <p>See how in the first error log the warning message was </p> <pre><code>running command '"C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.2/bin/i386/R" CMD INSTALL C:\Users\MUHAMM~1\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmpsx4n5u/ggbiplot_0.5.tar.gz --library=C:/Users/Muhammad Yaseen/R/win-library/2.14' had status 1 </code></pre> <p>In particular, the <code>--library=C:/Users/Muhammad Yaseen/R/win-library/2.14</code>.</p> <p>This should be <code>--library="C:/Users/Muhammad Yaseen/R/win-library/2.14"</code> to deal with the space.</p> <p>Using <code>install.packages</code> takes care of the quotes for you - see how your second warning message (when you used <code>install.packages</code>) was</p> <pre><code>running command 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.2/bin/i386/R CMD INSTALL -l "C:/Users/Muhammad Yaseen/R/win-library/2.14" "vqv-ggbiplot-2623d7c.tar.gz"' had status 1 </code></pre> <p>The <code>-l "C:/Users/Muhammad Yasseen/R/win-library/2.14"</code> has quote marks around it, so you don't get the same error.</p> <p>I had a quick look at the <code>install-github</code> sources, and it constructs the <code>R CMD INSTALL</code> command via:</p> <pre><code>paste("CMD INSTALL ", built_path, " --library=", .libPaths()[1], sep="") </code></pre> <p>See how it doesn't surround <code>.libPaths()[1]</code> by double quotes in case of spaces? I'd guess that's your problem.</p> <p>As to a fix - there seems to be an error using <code>install.packages()</code> on a tar file generated by <code>git</code> (as reported <a href="https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2011-April/060386.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>). So, you can either:</p> <ul> <li>change your R library location to somewhere without spaces</li> <li>unzip the <code>.tar.gz</code> file (I don't know what software does this on Windows) and install from the <em>extracted</em> directories rather than the <code>.tar.gz</code>.</li> </ul>
