There are two errors here.

One comes from the rgl package noticing that you have no X11 display, and
recovering nicely (thanks, Duncan).

The other comes from racd which wants to import as.vector from Matrix, but
Matrix no longer exports it.  Clone the repo, and make this change:

diff --git a/NAMESPACE b/NAMESPACE
index 45b3765..4c146fb 100644
--- a/NAMESPACE
+++ b/NAMESPACE
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ importFrom(numDeriv, jacobian, hessian, grad)
 importFrom(xts, xts, as.xts, is.xts, axTicksByTime)
 importFrom(zoo, coredata, index)
 importFrom(Rsolnp, solnp, gosolnp, startpars)
-importFrom(Matrix, Matrix, crossprod, t, as.matrix, as.vector)
+importFrom(Matrix, Matrix, crossprod, t, as.matrix)
 importFrom(parallel, makeForkCluster, makePSOCKcluster, stopCluster, clusterEvalQ, clusterExport, clusterMap, parLapply, parSapply)
 exportClasses("ACDspec", "ACDfit", "ACDfilter", "ACDforecast", "ACDsim", "ACDpath", "ACDroll")
 exportClasses("ACDmultispec", "ACDmultifit", "ACDmultifilter", "ACDmultiforecast")

ie remove ", as.vector" from the end of the importFrom line for package
Matrix.  Now you can install.
