Installed caret in R but unable to use in library

This is the code and error message I am getting:

> library(caret)
Error : object ‘semester’ is not exported by 'namespace:lubridate'
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘caret’

I am using a mac. I also use this at work on a PC and haven't had any problems.

I also ran sessionInfo() as adivsed

I just ran into the same issue, except I got stuck at updating (reinstalling) the lubridate package. Some of the errors I got looked something like:

./cctz/include/civil_time_detail.h:37: error: expected nested-name-specifier before ‘year_t’
./cctz/include/civil_time_detail.h:37: error: ‘year_t’ has not been declared
./cctz/include/civil_time_detail.h:37: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘=’ token
./cctz/include/civil_time_detail.h:37: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘=’ token

turned out my gcc compiler (running RHEL 6.8) was too old (4.4.7). Since I couldn't upgrade the compiler itself, I installed a devtoolset. then, I fixed my problem by enabling the devtoolset before running R:

scp enable devtoolset-4 R

You may have outdated dependencies. Try updating all installed packages. Then install "caret" with all dependencies :
(install.packages("caret", dependencies = TRUE)).
Worked for me!
