Nice fortune.
In retrospect, maybe it would have worked to re-build the user library. Things
were acting so strangely to me I opted for the direct, if more dangerous
approach. :-)

You would have done just as well to delete the user library and let R prompt
you to re-create it if things were that bad. Note that the default R
configuration always looks first in the user library and only falls back to the
system library if the desired

First, it was indeed the case that the main library was not writeable so

Here is where it gets confusing to me. Both library paths did a

installed is the first place R looks, i.e. the first entry in
.libPaths(). Often R is installed by an administrator, and users can't
write to the main library, so when they install packages they go

particularly on Windows but in general when some deeply-embedded dependency
fails to load or is removed in preparation for up
Below is some output from one of my students. I have never seen this error and
tried a few things (updating packages for one) but am at a loss to help
