R: error with read_csv, 'sysdata.rdb': No such file or directory

I'm trying to use read_csv in R from tidyverse package but I always get this message: 

> read_csv(readr_example("mtcars.csv"))
Error in date_names_lang(date_names) : 
  cannot open file '~/R/win-library/3.4/readr/R/sysdata.rdb': No such file or directory

The file and the directory does exist:

I also ran into this issue when running TCGAbiolinks.

In addition to the suggestion by idecico, I found loading readr via library(readr) before other packages like tidyverse, solved the issue (based on a comment by mrscholz on the following github page: https://github.com/tidyverse/tidyverse/issues/46)

I had the same problem. I restarted R, reinstalled readr and it worked. Here are more links that might shed some light:
