This is the error message:
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
namespace ‘rlang’ 0.3.4 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.0 is required
In addition to a Warning message:
package ‘ggplot2’ was built under R version 3.6.1
Please help. Thanks a lot.
Just providing a more complete answer for people to follow.
Remove packages with
remove.packages("rlang")
That may not work as you may need to delete the package from your R library. To find where you R library is run
.libPaths()
Once you've deleted the rlang folder from there you can restart R and run
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rlang/rlang_0.4.9.tar.gz", repo=NULL, type="source") # for specific rlang version, in this case 0.4.9. For latest version can run install.packages("rlang")
packageVersion("rlang") #to check you now have rlang version you want
Figured just a slight modification to the first answer worked best for me:
restart R, then:
remove.packages("rlang")
remove.packages("dplyr")
install.packages("rlang")
install.packages("dplyr")
library(rlang)
library(dplyr)
My solution is to restart R and then update all the packages.
update.packages(ask = FALSE)
The problem with just removing & installing rlang, and then your desired package (here ggplot2), you might find there are other packages you have remove and install. Best to update all and save time.
Problem solved by updating the R and Rstudio, removing "rlang" package and reinstalling the package, removing "ggplot2" package and reinstalling the package back.
Just update your R package, because there is a new update in the ggplot2 package which supports the higher R ver, it should be 3.6.3 and greater !

strong textI keep encountering problems with installing tidyverse package, which preventing me from implementing many text processing tasks. The problem is the same as those mentioned in many previous threads since 2017 in that when I enter library(tidyverse) or try to open other related packages, they always say it requires 0.2.1 version of vctrs. I have tried using remote download or download other temporary versions but to avail. Could someone help me on this?
I'm using the latest version of R (version 3.6.1), running on Rstudio 1.2.5033. I also updated my vctrs package.
install.packages("tidyverse")
devtools::install_github("tidyverse/tidyverse")
library(tidyverse)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
namespace ‘vctrs’ 0.2.0 is already loaded, but >= 0.2.1 is required
In addition: Warning message:

This has already been answered above, and I am leaving my notes for other "beginners" that may have run into the same thing. I encountered this issue after installing tidymodels (have since removed).
Had issue with rlang first: namespace ‘rlang’ 0.4.7 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.10 is required
remove.packages("rlang"), install.packages("rlang")
Then had issue with vctrs: namespace ‘vctrs’ 0.3.2 is already loaded, but >= 0.3.6 is required
does not respond to the remove/install process.
Shut down R, manually delete the vctrs directory from lib, per Edward's message above. Will be somewhere like: C:\Users\Chris\Documents\R\win-library\3.6\vctrs
Start RStudio. install.packages("vctrs")
After this, I could load tidyverse again.
It´s important to check for packages updates. It´s in tool menu->check for package updates->choose the packages. I had the same problem with other package "drc" and it gave me the same error with old version of "vctr".
You've probably got more than one instance of R running with those tidyverse packages loaded. Not sure about other operating systems, but on Windows, if these packages are being used, then those DLL files will be in use and you cannot delete them, which is what the install.packages() function will try to do.
So, just close all but one instance of R, maybe restart the computer just to be sure, and try again.
I had the same issue:
namespace 'vctrs' 0.3.7 is already loaded, but >= 0.3.8 is required
I tried:
unloadNamespace("vctrs")
namespace 'vctrs' is imported by 'pillar' so cannot be unloaded
So then:
install.packages("pillar")
It automatically restarts R and re-installs pillar. This worked for me!
I had the same problem and I installed Rtools, which is a package management tool for R, from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ and it worked!
I successfully installed caret but when loading the library I get the following error message:
library(caret)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘caret’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
namespace ‘generics’ 0.0.2 is already loaded, but >= 0.1.0 is required
what does 0.1.0 refer to?
I had the same issue, apparently some required dependencies for the caret package need to be updated. However installing it with DEPENDENCIES = TRUE, did not fix the problem for me.
What did work was:
Close all your .rmd files in RStudio and then click on the 'update' button in the tab with the packages:
This should update all your packages including the ones caret needs be updated, to work with their latest version.
I solved the problem by uninstalling the caret package, restarting R and installing the package from zip file.
It is asking about the latest version of generics package. It could be solved either by manually installing some earlier version of package caret or updating the base r packages.
update.packages()
If it asks for permission then use sudo
First use this:
install.packages('hardhat')
library(hardhat)
install.packages('ipred')
library(ipred)
then,you can use library(caret).
I have installed ggplot2 in R but when I try to load it, R gives this ERROR message:
library(ggplot2)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]): namespace ‘rlang’ 0.4.6 is already loaded, but >= 0.4.7 is required
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.
Install the full tidyverse package, it will load all graphics dependencies include gglot2 and its dependencies too.
install.packages("tidyverse")
As mentioned here:
https://community.rstudio.com/t/i-cant-load-ggplot2-in-my-library-in-r-version-3-4-3/6466
I am working on WINDOWS OS and I had same problems with loading ggplot2 and other libraries. I tried to install it like it was suggested in other threads, but it didn't solve the problem. I found some similar issues in other topics, and i figured out that my Rstudio console wanted to have fresh a toolchain bundle called Rtools. It can be downloaded from CRAN REP.
You have to pick appripiote version for your Rengine version. If you do not know what version of R you have, you have to simple type R.version in console, and then download proper version of Rtools. After that, i updated every libraries in Rstudio. ggplot2, tidyverse and many other are working properly from that time
I hope that it could help somebody :)

I'm getting the following error when I'm loading tidyverse. It was all working fine
a few minutes ago when I was running my shinyapp. How should I resolve this?
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in
loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
namespace ‘rlang’ 0.3.0.1 is already loaded, but >= 0.3.1 is required
I had the same problem but managed to tackle it. You may remove the current version of rlang using the following command:
remove.packages("rlang")
and then install the rlang again:
install.packages("rlang")
After that run the library:
library(tidyverse)
I know this is an old question but I faced this same problem. I restarted R session and it worked fine after that. Hope this helps someone! :)
In addition to unloading and reloading rlang,
Click on Tools in the tab and check for Package Updates to update tidyverse
Also had similar problem but resolved it after a struggle. I used:-
devtools::install_github("tidyverse/tidyverse")
I have just encountered the similar problem.
The error could translate into understandable English as:
package 'rlang' version 0.3.0.1 is loaded into R successfully, but the other package that based on 'ralng' required a higher version (at least 0.3.1).
So that manually install.packages('rlang') will update the latest appropriate package 'rlang'
I know this might be late answer,but I had the same issue and I fixed it by updating the packages, specifically : ggplot2, scales. according to this Rstudio site
Start with install.packages("devtools") then install.packages("rlang").
