[SOLVED] Unable to load shared object rlang while using library(dplyr)

Unable to load shared object rlang while using library(dplyr)

I used install.packages("dplyr", dependencies=T) However when i call library(dplyr) it throws the following error message.

Loading required package: dplyr
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : 
  unable to load shared object 'C:/Program Files/Microsoft/R Client/R_SERVER/library/rlang/libs/x64/rlang.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  The specified procedure could not be found.

I first tried downloading rlang package but it gave me an error which says: Warning in install.packages : package ‘rlang’ is not available (for R version 3.3.2)

I then copied the rlang package from a different path to the path where my R library exists and it throws an error of "Enrty point not found"

Could someone help me with a solution?

Solution

You can try this

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("r-lib/rlang", build_vignettes = TRUE)

before installing the dplyr package.
