I recently upgrade ubuntu from 18.04 to 20.04, so this is probably related...
My code requires me to have the stringr package and to use tidyverse. When I try to run require(stringr) and library(tidyverse) I receive these errors,
> require(stringr) # String manipulation
Loading required package: stringr
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘stringr’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):

> library(tidyverse)

I've tried reinstalling stringr using install.packages("stringr") but then get
Installing package into ‘/home/elrodlab/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)

Although it seems as if Stringr is good to go and all there, when I attempt to use require(stringr) I end up getting this error
Loading required package: stringr Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘stringr’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/home/elrodlab/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.6/stringi/libs/stringi.so': libicui18n.so.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any idea on how to handle this?
