Error message when loading 'swirl' package

[jmringenberg]

I am able to install the 'swirl' package, but when I try to load the library, I receive the below error message. Any help you can provide as to how I may fix this is appreciated.

library(swirl)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘swirl’ in namespaceExport(ns, exports):

I was able to install and load the "swirl" library without any problems.

Two checks for you, for a start:

1. Are you sure you did not get error messages when installing "swirl" concerning certain libraries that were missing or superseded in version?
2. Did you try and install "swirl" in a new R session? If not, try that and see if it helps.

When installing, I receive the message that 'swirl' was successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked, so I don't think I'm missing anything there. And I just tried installing and loading into a new R session and am still getting the same error message.

Then I am not sure what the problem is. The "swirl" dependencies are quite light.

Assuming you have a recent version of R, you could try installing from github, as in the FAQ (see swirl | FAQ (swirlstats.com). No guarantees, but it might work. Other than that, I'm afraid you might have to talk to the "swirl" people via swirl: Learn R, in R. (swirlstats.com).
