I'm also having trouble installing either with install.packages() or using devtools.

Warning: S3 methods ‘as.col_spec.NULL’, ‘as.col_spec.character’, ‘as.col_spec.col_spec’, ‘as.col_spec.default’, ‘as.col_spec.list’, ‘format.col_spec’, ‘output_column.POSIXt’, ‘output_column.default’, ‘output_column.double’, ‘print.col_spec’, ‘print.collector’, ‘print.date_names’, ‘print.locale’ were declared in NAMESPACE but not found Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) : shared object ‘readr.so’ not found ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘kableExtra’ \* removing ‘/home/rstudio/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/kableExtra’ Warning in install.packages : installation of package ‘kableExtra’ had non-zero exit status

Any ideas what's causing this?

I had exactly the same problem!
First I tried to install the readr package

install.packages("readr")

I got also an error...

ERROR: failed to lock directory ‘/home/pbranco/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4’ for modifying
Try removing ‘/home/pbranco/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/00LOCK-readr’
Warning in install.packages :
  installation of package ‘readr’ had non-zero exit status

So, I followed the suggestion of removing the file 00LOCK-readr.
After have this done, I could install the readr package.
Then, I was also able to install the kableExtra.
And that's it!
