I cannot install the R-package BH which I need only to install dplyr afterwards.

The download works but something is wrong with the processing afterwards, as there i

Answer 1

BH, as a sizeable subset of Boost Headers is big, as in really big:

edd@max:~$ du -csm /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/BH/
111     /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/BH/
111     total
edd@max:~$ 

That is 111 megabytes.

You may simply have run our of patience if your Windows (network share ?) was slow in writing the files.

BH is also widely used by other CRAN packages, and there has not been a package on any of the platforms used by CRAN.

So I suggest you maybe place your R package library onto a local hard drive...

If you have an actual bug report, please consider filing an issue ticket against our BH package.
