This error is seen upon using certain packages like readxl,tidyverse.

Here is the full error .Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in namespaceExport(ns, exports):

Hi,

A quick search reveals that this issue is occurring time and again without a clear cause... The most "helpful" post i could find was this one:

Persistent problem installing tidyverse and stringr

I'm not sure why a feather binary isn't available yet, but the issue with stringi is a known, frustratingly persistent problem: Due to stringr's dependence on stringi, I've seen this causing a lot of pain for people trying to install a range of packages for R 3.5 on Windows. Many (most??) such users do not have RTools installed, so by default install.packages() will just keep installing the very old version of stringi. People who don't have RTools installed are also very likely to have trouble debugging this obscure web of dependencies! So thanks very much for leaving this note here

It seems they suggest things might be solved if you install RTools if you're on Windows and then try to install tidyverse again. I'm not sure, but it might be a try?

Hope this helps,
PJ
