I'm working in RStudio and am attempting to install the dplyr package. I have installed various other packages without problem but have hit a problem with this.
It seems there are various parts to the install, some of these worked but the problem happens when I get 'the dependency BH'. This is the error:
>Installing package into ‘\\xxxxxxxx.local/Desktops/jagnew/My Documents/R/win-library/3.3’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
also installing the dependency ‘BH’

I have changed the directory/libpath as it did not appear that the file was downloading to the correct folder. file142032c9327b is now in the correct path, but path specified in the error is only correct up to /boost, there is no function folder here..?
I'm not sure if this missing folder is the issue, as the error says 'Permission denied', but it seems odd.
