RStudio中安装broom与nlme包失败问题求助

Hey there, let's break down why you're hitting this error when trying to install broom. Looking at your error log and the library path /home/gherr/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2/, it's clear you're running R 3.2.x—a version that's over 8 years old at this point. Most modern CRAN packages (including newer versions of broom, psych, and nlme) no longer support such an outdated R release, which is the root cause here.

Here are two ways to fix this:

Option 1: Upgrade Your R Version (Highly Recommended) #

This is the most straightforward and long-term solution. Newer R versions come with better compatibility, more features, and bug fixes:

• Head to the official R website to download the latest version for your Linux system, then follow the installation instructions for your distro.
• Once upgraded, restart RStudio and run install.packages("broom") again. All dependencies should install automatically without issues.

Option 2: Install Older Package Versions (Only if You Can't Upgrade R) #

If upgrading R isn't an option right now, you'll need to track down older versions of the packages that work with R 3.2.x:

1. First, install an older nlme version that supports R 3.2 (like nlme 3.1-122):
   • Download the .tar.gz file for this version from CRAN's archive.
   • Run this command in RStudio (replace the file path with where you saved the download):

     install.packages("/path/to/nlme_3.1-122.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
     

2. Next, install an older psych version (like psych 1.5.8):
   • Grab the compatible .tar.gz from CRAN's archive, then install with:

     install.packages("/path/to/psych_1.5.8.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
     

3. Finally, install an older broom version (like broom 0.4.1):
   • Download the matching .tar.gz and run:

     install.packages("/path/to/broom_0.4.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
     

Just a heads-up: This method is clunky, and older package versions might have bugs or missing features. Upgrading R is definitely the better call if you can swing it.
