TERR: Error in loading rlang package

[Matteo Cassotti]

I have installed the dplyr package and its dependencies from "TERR Tools" "Package Management". The installation was successful.

Using the local TERR engine, dplyr, rlang and other packages are detected:

Loading some packages is successful, eg "glue":

> library(glue)> gluefunction (..., .sep = "", .envir = parent.frame(), .open = "{", .close = "}", .na = "NA", .null = character(), .comment = "#", .literal = FALSE, .transformer = identity_transformer, .trim = TRUE){ glue_data(.x = NULL, ..., .sep = .sep, .envir = .envir, .open = .open, .close = .close, .na = .na, .null = .null, .comment = .comment, .literal = .literal, .transformer = .transformer, .trim = .trim)}<environment: glue>attr(,"name")[1] "glue"

But the 'rlang' package fails to load:

> library(rlang)Warning message:In library.dynam(chname = chname, package = package, lib.loc... : Could not load foreign binary C:/Users/MWXC/DOCUME~1/TERR/X86_64~1/6.0/rlang/libs/x64/rlang.dll: The specified procedure could not be found.Error in .loadNamespaceImpl(package, path, keep.source, partial) : error executing useDynLib for dynamic library 'rlang' from package 'rlang' loaded from C:/Users/MWXC/DOCUME~1/TERR/X86_64~1/6.0 : Error in library.dynam(chname = chname, package = package, lib.loc = ... : Foreign binary rlang could not be loaded

Any help would be really appreciated

Hello!

I just responded to a similar question in https://community.spotfire.com/s/question/0D54z00009QJWQACA5/getting-an-error-while-executing-a-data-function-in-spotfire - see that post for more information, but in short, this is likely caused by a known third-party issue - that Microsoft has recently retired its MRAN website that published daily historical snapshots of the open-source R community's CRAN repository.

Hi @Fredrik Rosell​ ,

that's a life saver! Thank you very much!

[Fredrik Rosell]

No problem, Matteo (and thank you for doing such thorough testing/troubleshooting before posting!)

You're welcome 😊
