Question

Hi- I am having trouble with loading the Seurat Package. install.packages("Seurat") works. But loading the library shows error. Can someone please help me solve the problem?

Hi, can you please show the output after you run:

install.packages("Seurat")

Also, please show the output of:

sessionInfo()

Be sure, also, to restart your R session and computer.

Hi! I'm getting the exact same error when installing the 4.0.1 binary. I can't compile the source version (4.0.3) since it returns the same error:

Error in .doLoadActions(where, attach) :

Hello again! I managed to fix it by re-installing Rcpp: install.packages("Rcpp")

Hope it works for u as well!
