I installed the new versions of RStudio (2022.07.1 Build 554) and R-4.2.1 for Windows. When installing the ggplot2 package I get an error message and although it looks installed, it does not run.
This is the error message:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]): there is no package called ‘gtable’
I try to install the gtable package, but I fail and it throws this message:
>install.packages("gtable", dependencies = TRUE)

I installed the last version from https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/base/R-4.2.1-win.exe. When selecting the path where to install RTools, I selected a path other than my operating system (C:/), which has more memory capacity. Everything else was default.
I reinstalled RTools and RStudio in C:/, but the problems continue. When I open RStudio, automatically send this message:

Also it seems dplyr is being loaded on startup and that can cause this kind of problems, have you modified any . Rprofileor Rprofile.site file? Or are you restoring your previous environment on startup?
Thank you, I got confused. Now I installed it and restarted everything, but nothing has changed. I have not modified anything, I installed everything from scratch and started RStudio, installing ggplot and the error messages remain.
I would really appreciate your help, I've been at a standstill for hours without being able to move forward.
Check the content of C:\Program Files\R\R-4.2.1\etc\Rprofile.site and see if there is any command there that could be loading dplyr.
Look for any .Rprofile file located in your HOME folder (i.e. C:\Users\<< your user name>>\Documents), in your default working directory or in your current working directory and delete it (or rename it if you want to keep the content).
