Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ballgown’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):

Can someone kindly explain to me how I go about fixing this error?

A suggestion: try installing GenomeInfoDbData. When you installed ballgown, the biocLite() function shuld have taken care of dependencies, I guess GenomeInfoDbData installation failed but you didn't notice.

P.S.: when asking question about R, it is always useful to paste the output of sessionInfo().

I've already installed a package called GenomeInfoDb. But then when I try to install the package GenomeInfoDbData, I get the following error. CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

So you noticed a dependency has not been installed and failed to mention this detail and to provide the failed installation error message?

You also failed to mention your particular setup, which judging from the error message (UNC paths are not supported), is quite unusual.
