Got an error for 'farver' when using 'ggplot2'

[Sunnyy651]

Hi,
I have encountered this issue on my working computer when I was trying to plot using ggplot2 (please see below). I can't get any result when googling this error so I think it is worthwhile to write a new post. Thanks for helping me out!

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)

annoying <- tibble(

• 1 = 1:10,
• 2 = 1 * 2 + rnorm(length(1))
• )

ggplot(annoying, aes(x = 1, y = 2)) +

• geom_point()
  Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'farver', details:
  call: .Call("load_colour_names_c", c(all_colours, as.character(seq_along(def_palette) -
  error: "load_colour_names_c" not available for .Call() for package "farver"

Hmm... it appears something is messed up with your installation of farver - have you tried reinstalling it?

Yes, I tried remove and reinstall it several times but it didn't help. I have to mention that my 'farver' package and all dependencies are installed in a location where I have permission to make changes, but 'ggplot2' is preinstalled in drive C: where I do not have permission to make any change (as I am using a corporate device). Will that be the reason why my package all got messed up?
