Error trying to use the tidyverse library

Question

First day in R, no idea what I'm doing. Currently using RStudio on Mac and trying to use the tidyverse library.

Installing tidyverse

> install.packages("tidyverse")
trying URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/tidyverse_1.3.0.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 433010 bytes (422 KB)
==================================================
downloaded 422 KB


The downloaded binary packages are in
    /var/folders/yv/j6pv1xn549bfzg_ycxq2ks500000gp/T//RtmpZaCocT/downloaded_packages

Using tidyverse

> library(tidyverse)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘tidyverse’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so':
  dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/library/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so, 6): Symbol not found: ___cxa_uncaught_exceptions
  Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/lib/libc++.1.dylib
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libc++abi.dylib
 in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.6/Resources/lib/libc++.1.dylib

I'm not sure where to get started with this. Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated

You can try to update your packages.

> update.packages(repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/', ask=FALSE, checkBuilt=TRUE)

If it does not work you could try to reinstall Rcpp .

install.packages("Rcpp")

Good luck!
