title: Error in loadNamespace in R for Copula package
body: <p>I have created a model in R and I need to use <code>copula</code> which involves using the copula package. I am using the latest version of R on a MacBook Pro that is fully updated.</p>
  
  <p>I can install the copula package but when I trying to open the <code>library(copula)</code> I get the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error in loadNamespace(j &lt;- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()),
    versionCheck = vI[[j]]) :    there is no package called ‘gsl’ Error:
    package or namespace load failed for ‘copula’</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I use R for statistical analysis and I am not a programmer and honestly I have no idea what loadNamespace even means. I have spent an hour looking through Google and I have tried to follow what the few that are out there say (update packages for example) to do but it doesn't solve anything. </p>
