I am using RGui 3.5.1 and RStudio 1.2.5. I am trying to load Tidyverse and it gave some error message about "onload failed in loadNameSpace() for 'rlang' " so I think maybe I need to load rlang first, but I got the same error message.
I have been going around the circle for days now, tried everything suggested online, except to uninstall the R studio as we need to go through IT for it (R is in local software center which we are able to download ourselves so I did uninstall R and install it myself but its still not working).
Following advice found online,
I deleted rlang then checked on R:
library("rlang") Error in library("rlang") : there is no package called ‘rlang’
Then I made sure the CRANExtra is removed
setRepositories()
Then I specified the library location to install
install.packages("rlang",lib="C:/Users/LIN0001/DataNow/Home/R/win-library/3.5") trying URL 'https://mran.microsoft.com/snapshot/2018-08-01/bin/windows/contrib/3.5/rlang_0.2.1.zip' Content type 'application/zip' length 821580 bytes (802 KB) downloaded 802 KB
package ‘rlang’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The downloaded binary packages are in C:\Users\LIN0001\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpigNMZO\downloaded_packages ---Then I try to load it from the same folder:
library("rlang",lib.loc="C:/Users/LIN0001/DataNow/Home/R/win-library/3.5") Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rlang’: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rlang', details: call: dots_list(...) error: object 'rlang_dots_list' not found
I also unticked the "use secure download method for http" of packages option in RStudio and when installing Tidyverse, I selected No instead of Yes on the pop up window (can't remember the exact message, something to do with security again); I have tried to load it both on R and Rstudio but got the same error messages.
Now I ran out of options to try so please help.
Many thanks in advance.
