I am using RStudio (Version 0.99.484) and R (Version 3.2.3) on Mac OSX (Version 10.9.5).
Unfortunately, I cannot recall if I did anything to cause these changes, but since about two weeks ago, whenever I try to install certain package from CRAN, upon using the usual syntax:
install.packages("packageName")
I receive an Error Message in RStudio. Here is an example of a new package for which I see this issue:
install.packages("plotly")
Gives me the Error Message:
There is a binary version available but the source version is later:
binary source needs_compilation
plotly 2.0.16 3.4.1 FALSE

This has happened for more than one packages (and seems sudden, the past two weeks). However, it does not happen for all packages. I am wondering how to approach this issue given my use of RStudio, Mac OSX, R, etc. I see very few resources when Googling my Error Message "sub-architecture 'R' is not installed".
