This points to an installation issue with the pacificclimate package climdex.pcic, which is a dependency of climate4R.climdex. Try installing this package first. climdex.pcic is no longer available on CRAN, so you can try installing it from GitHub as follows:

devtools::install_github("pacificclimate/climdex.pcic")
