help with installing tidyverse package (recent R update)

General
1

I had tidyverse originally installed, but then I updated my R version because I started having problems with dplyer, and now dplyer is working fine but I can't get tidyverse to reinstall. This seems to be where the error messages start (note: I have tried updating all of my other packages that it mentions, like tibble, but they won't update either):

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

You are being asked to update rlang

install.packages("rlang")

I have tried that, but unfortunately it hasn't worked. I tried manually updating every package that it said I needed to update with the same results. I recently tried downloading the RTools as well, get it installed, but that's not working either. I'm kind of at a loss. Here's more error text if it helps anyone:

When I try to use the RTools to install "rlang" package and do the compliation since a binary file isn't available, here are the errors:

There is a binary version available but the source version is
later:
binary source needs_compilation
rlang 0.3.4 0.4.5 TRUE

Do you want to install from sources the package which needs compilation?

Try updating your R version so you have access to precompiled binaries (they are only available for the latest R versions).
Also, it seemes like you don't have the 32 bit version of Rtools installed but you are also using the 32 bit R version, I personally avoid having both versions installed to avoid this kind of issues and I keep the 64 bit version only.

Ok, I thought I had updated my R version, but I think something got mixed up. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the newest version. It's working now! I'll get rid of the 32 bit version too to avoid any future issues, great idea. Thank you!!!!
