Unusual ask: Trouble loading RSQLite

[andrewtlocke]

Probably a question for @VarunKShetty , I need to load RSQLite to deal with some SQL files, but the library isn't opening. Any chance you've had this problem and know how to fix?

Here's the error:

> library("RSQLite")
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘RSQLite’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘bit’

[VarunKShetty]

Seems that you have this issue because you are missing a package called "bit". Go ahead and install it, may be?

I've installed 'bit' -- and it executes successfully. But when I try to load the library library(bit) it says the package doesn't exist.

It also warns that bit has a "non-zero exit status" during installation. Any idea?

Ah! During installation of bit i received the prompt:

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation? (Yes/no/cancel)

I had said yes but should have said no. Working now! Thanks VK
