Have difficulty loading in 'Tidyverse

[123ShahzadAnwar]

I've been working with Rstudio for last six months, but never had such issues. Earliar today, I had difficulty loading in 'Forecast' which I could just figure out with R Studio Community Help. Now, I just reinstalled R studio... tried to load in tidyverse, but wouldn't work. The errors reads:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’:
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'readr', details:
call: options()
error: Value of SET_STRING_ELT() must be a 'CHARSXP' not a 'NULL'
invalid option "error"

Note: I've already tried ' Install.packages ("tidyverse", dependencies = TRUE).

I'll appreciate if someone could help me with it. Thank you!!

And now when I tried to load in Tidyverse, it showed something else. This is what it reads to me now:

library(tidyverse)
*** recursive gc invocation
*** recursive gc invocation
*** recursive gc invocation
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in as.environment(where):
invalid object for 'as.environment'

Adding more, when I tried to install 'Tidyverse', it takes a lot of time to get installed. Just couple of days ago, things were as fast as lightening. I'll really appreciate if somebody could explain things for me, please. Thank you!!!

I'm having a similar issue. It just started happening randomly (not after an upgrade or anything). Reinstalling R and R Studio hasn't helped.

I tried this solution, but it didn't help:

.onLoad failed when loading packages: how to troubleshoot?

First, apologies for the pictures. I have no clue on how to make this a reproducible example. Last night a job was interrupted by a loss of internet connection. Issue Since then for some reason packages won't load normally using library. In some R sessions packages load normally, code execution runs fine. When I open another instance, it will throw a bunch errors that differ each time library is called [crash] Other times it prints *** recursive gc invocation before failing, often terminating the R session. However, sometimes the 2nd library call runs just fine... [what] What I've done so far: Reinstall the package devtools Update R to 4.1…

I'm having a similar issue.

I solved this issue on my windows 7 by going to :
C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData
and then searching for "RStudio" by using the search box and deleting all folders and files that appear in the search result.

Sadly, this did not fix my problem.

Also, it seems like it is not related to Tidyverse stuff. It seems pretty random which packages fail to load properly. Now I'm getting errors with DESeq2. Again, this package loads fine when directly using the R terminal, so the problem is with R studio specifically.
