installation of package error, non-zero exit status, package not found

I just wanted to install the package "questionr". But the following error keeps occuring. The package that was supposed to be installed cannot be loaded (library(package)) neither I can find the package within the folder 3.5. Never had this problem before.

Do you have any idea whats the matter here? I'd appreciate your help! Thanks

   install.packages("questionr")

   (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

It looks like questionr could not be installed because it depends on labelled, which failed to install because it depends on haven version 2.3.1 or higher, which depends on rlang and vctrs, which could not be updated because they were in use.

Start a fresh R session with no packages loaded. Use install.packages() to update rlang and vctrs manually. Then update haven manually. Then, install labbelled manually. Finally, try to install questionr again.

If you continue to be unable to update haven, browse to your library folder and delete the haven folder and install it fresh.

It also looks like you are still using R 3.5. The current R version is 4.0.2. Updating R may help especially if some of the dependencies that failed to install require newer version of R than you are using.
