Problems to load tidyverse

I installed tidyverse in R Studio, but I'm having a problem running it.

I ran library("tidyverse") but I keep getting an error.

error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so':
  dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so, 6): Symbol not found: _EXTPTR_PTR
  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so
  Expected in: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib/libR.dylib
 in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘tidyverse’ was built under R version 4.0.2

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't seem to work.

The error is also encountered in installing Rcpp package and it is seems can be solved by upgrading the R version to 4.02.

We answered that a few times. It is an unfortunate error in R 4.0.0 and R 4.0.1 which changed a minor detail about EXTPTR_PTR.

Upgrade to R 4.0.2 and the issue will go away.
