unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library/glue/libs/glue.so'

After updating to the latest version of Rstudio I got error when loading 'ggplot2'. My error message is like:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library/glue/libs/glue.so':

Is that a version-specific bug? Thanks in advance for any clue!

If this is not in .libpaths(), it’s likely that R was installed as a local user, rather than as a system-level program. What does it show? There’s been a lot of this going round.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I didn't get your question - libpaths()seems not to be a function.
Actually, in addition to ggplot2, lots of other packages had similar loading problem, including field, sf, raster, etc. (Yes, mostly related to spatial analysis and plotting)

Since I'm in hurry to complete some tasks and have no time for troubleshooting right now, I simply restored back to the previous version (RStudio-2022.07.1-554) and the problem disappreared.

My bad, it's an oddball that begins with a dot— .libPaths().

I get it! It shows

"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library"

As "technocrat" noted, there seems to be a lot of this going around. See my post:

The question is why does the shared object file "glue.so" reference the wrong dylib? Can the shared object file be edited?
