I had this same problem  but when running in a jupyter R notebook in an Anaconda environment     The problem presented in such a way that any R notebook opened would instantly die and would not allow cell execution   The error would show up with each failed automated attempt to start the kernel   Error in loadNamespace j  lt - i  1L    c lib loc   libPaths     versionCheck   vI  j         there is no package called    Rcpp      To solve this  I ran as admin sudo  conda install -c r r-rcpp  restarted the kernel  and everything was back to normal

These steps work for me    Download the Rcpp manually from WebSite  https   cran r-project org web packages Rcpp index html   unzip the folder files to  Rcpp  folder Locate the  library  folder under R install directory Ex  C  R R-3 3 1 library Copy the  Rcpp  folder to Library folder    Good to go     library Rcpp  library ggplot2

I tried the steps mentioned in the earlier posts but without any success  However  what worked for me was uninstalling R completely and then deleting the R folder which files in the documents folder  so basically everything do with R except the scripts and work spaces I had saved  I then reinstalled R and ran   remove packages c  ggplot2    data table    install packages  Rcpp   dependencies   TRUE  install packages  ggplot2   dependencies   TRUE  install packages  data table   dependencies   TRUE    This rather crude method somehow worked for me

After a wild goose chase with tons of Google searches and burteforce attempts  I think I found how to solve this problem   Steps undertaken to solve the problem    Uninstall R Reinstall R Install ggplot with the dependencies argument to install packages set to TRUE  install packages  ggplot2  dependencies   TRUE  The above step still does NOT include the Rcpp dependency so that has to be manually installed using the following command  install packages  Rcpp     However  while the above command successfully downloads Rcpp  for some reason  it fails to explode the ZIP file and install it in my R s library folder citing the following error      package    Rcpp    successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked Warning in   install packages     unable to move temporary installation      C  Root Prgs Data Science SW R R-3 2 3 library file27b8ef47b6d Rcpp      to    C  Root Prgs Data Science SW R R-3 2 3 library Rcpp         The downloaded binary packages are in     C  Users MY USER ID AppData Local Temp Rtmp25XQ0S downloaded packages    Note that the above output says  Warning  but actually  it is an indication of failure to install the Rcpp package successfully within the repository  I then used the Tools-- Install packages--  From ZIP file and pointed to the location of the  downloaded binary packages  in the message above -   C  Users MY USER ID AppData Local Temp Rtmp25XQ0S downloaded packages Rcpp 0 12 3 zip   This led to successful installation of Rcpp in my R R-3 2 3 library folder  thereby ensuring that Rcpp is now available when I attempt to load the library for ggplot2  I could not do this step in the past because my previous installation of R would throw error stating that Rcpp cannot be imported  However  the same command worked after I uninstalled and reinstalled R  which is ODD      install packages  C  Users MY USER ID AppData Local Temp Rtmp25XQ0S downloaded packages Rcpp 0 12 3 zip   repos   NULL  type    win binary         package    Rcpp    successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked   I was finally able to load the ggplot2 library successfully   library ggplot2

I also faced the same problem and   remove packages c  ggplot2    data table    install packages  Rcpp   dependencies   TRUE  install packages  ggplot2   dependencies   TRUE    these commands did not work for me  What I found was that it was showing a warning message that it could not move temporary installation C  Users User name Documents R win-library 3 3 abcd1234 Rcpp to C  Users User name Documents R win-library 3 3 Rcpp   I downloaded the Rcpp zip file from the link given and unziped it and copied it inside C  Users User name Documents R win-library 3 3 and then   library Rcpp  library ggplot2     worked  I did not have to uninstall R  Hope this helps

I tried all the listed solutions above but nothing worked  This is what worked for me     Look at the complete error message which you get when you use library ggplot2    It lists a couple of packages which are missing or have errors  Uninstall and reinstall them  ggplot should work now with a warning for version
