From long and unhappy experience, I routinely reboot before reporting problems like this, then upgrade all software where feasible ... including "update.packages". Some problems magically disappear after doing this.

If they persist, then, as it says at the end of each email on this thread, "PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code." If you do that, it increases the chances that the help you get will actually be helpful ;-)

Dear R users

Thanks a lot. I will try again. The error code was below the email, but there 
was some encryption:
- Error in nchar(homeDir:invalid multibyte string, element 1
- I realised that I was able to install ggplot2, but the error is afterwards 
when loading ggplot2 (library()).

Kind regards

Betreff: RE: [R] ggplot2 install.package

Can you please provide us with a copy of the error msg? I have used ggplot2 
with R 4.2.1, and probably R 4.2.0 in RStudio on Windows 11 and not had 
trouble. You might need to update R, or RStudio. R and RStudio need to be 
compatible versions.

[External Email]

Dear R members



I am working with RStudio R 4.2.0 and using ggplot2 and gridExtra.

Since some windows updates I get some error when loading  ggplot2.

*       It seems that I am able to install ggplot2. The problem is when
loading ggplot2 with library().
*       Do you have any ideas to solve the problem?





Kind regards

Sibylle
