(It's a good idea to state your OS.)
Anyway, assuming that you got your download from your favourite
CRAN repository, you may have missed these two sentences:

not know what this means, you probably do not want to do it!"

Pre-compiled versions are available at CRAN.

Thus, diversity needs to include giving power and sanctioned space for divergent voices, even if this means disagreeing".
