I usually can debug my errors and am sure that this is something obvious, but what am I doing wrong and why doesn't this compile?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try clearing the knitr cache - if any of the chunks have cache=TRUE

I usually face this problem while Knit'ng where a few of the code chunks have cache=TRUE

Answer 2

My guess would be that it's an issue with outdated packages. Can you try updating? In RStudio, under the packages tab, you should have an option to update any packages which are in need.
