I've had a problem for a while now in which I can't load the stringi package until I install it clean. This seems to work as long as I'm in a single R session. Then, some time later, maybe when I create a new session or probably after a longer delay, I have to install it again.
This all broke this morning for some reason. Now, if I can install it straight away, and load it, but it's not recognized by ggplot2. Specifically when I try to install ggplot2 I get:
> library(stringi)
> install.packages("ggplot2")

As you can see, stringi loads successfully into the environment, but I get this error when installing ggplot2.
Elsewhere this problem has been reported as fixed by installing stringi, but here, that doesn't help. But I suspect something is wrong with the stringi installation because of the previous problems I have had having to continually reinstall it.
I have tried installing stringi and ggplot2 using
install.packages("stringi", type = "source")
install.packages("ggplot2", type = "source")
Once again, stringi installs but ggplot2 does not.
