Run the documented installation method for R:
install.packages("duckdb", repos=c("http://download.duckdb.org/alias/v0.1.9/rstats/", "http://cran.rstudio.com"))
repo suggests this is v0.1.9, but installer reports:
trying URL 'http://download.duckdb.org/alias/v0.1.9/rstats/src/contrib/duckdb_0.1.7.tar.gz'
Same issue can be seen in browsing from http://download.duckdb.org/, e.g. 0.1.9 link takes you to:
http://download.duckdb.org/rev/3c353fac49d37719d7592d1819dfeb76ac541736/rstats/
Looks like this may have been flagged with other issues in #711. I don't experience the build/install issue mentioned there though, only the version issue
Yes, there is some version number confusion here. We are working on getting duckdb on CRAN, so that should be cleared up in that effort as well.
This should now be fixed for now with the release of 0.2.0
