tidyverse package is not working

[ilyasm]

Hi

When i'm loading the library tidyverse, i'm getting below error

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
namespace ‘rlang’ 0.4.1 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.2 is required

Due to this, group_by() is not working.

I did all below but in vain:

1. Updated all packages.
2. Also reinstalled R and R-studio

Also, Rstudio is crashing when i terminate a R session. Even post re-installation of Rstudio.

Regards
Ilyas

What information do you get from

sessionInfo()

?

Thanks, please try:

install.packages("rlang")

I tried to reinstall and got the permission denied error for "rlang.dll" under directory "R\win-library\3.6\rlang\libs\x64".
I manually deleted and installed rlang, which went through.

But when i now try to load the libraries, im getting below error for most of them
'.../R/win-library/3.6/rlang/R/rlang.rdb' is corrupt

should i try uninstall and reinstall of R and Rstudio?

I tried to reinstall and got the permission denied error for "rlang.dll" under directory "R\win-library\3.6\rlang\libs\x64".

Be sure to be in a clean and fresh session and that rlang is not loaded in some way by the .Rprofile at the beginning of the session. On windows, dll are locked and that could be an issue.

I think you should

• Be sure no R is open in your computer (no RStudio no R process)
• open R in clean state. (with RStudio or not)
• install rlang from CRAN
• see if it works.
• Restart R
• install the other

The dll think means it was locked in some way and this corrupted you library.

You could check also in R\win-library\3.6 that you don't have a LOCK folder for rlang, and even remove the rlang folder to uninstall before installing again.

hope it helps

Thanks cderv.

I couldnt terminate R session as the Rstudio was crashing. I did reupdated all packages and wasnt using the PC and shifted my work to the laptop.
Surprisingly, when i worked on today to resolve this issue, its working.

Thanks for all your support.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
