Entry point not found

[luisvalenzuelar]

I installed the latest latex2exp manually from the binary available in CRAN, in a Windows computer without internet (I am working in a secure lab environment). I am using R 3.3.1, with RGui (crap, I know, but I am not an administrator and change requests are slow). When I load the package, I get a pop-up message saying:

The procedure entry point DATAPTR could not be located in the dynamic link library R.dll.

After accepting the message, the R console says:

Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ... ) : unable to load shared object '//path/to/my/local/library/stringi/libs/x64/stringi.dll : LoadLibrary failure: The specified procedure could not be found.

Not sure what is the problem, as the file stringi.dll is in the aforementioned folder. The file is the original from the package .zip file.

I manually installed other packages and dependencies (like ggplot2) and they load fine, so it seems to be an issue of latex2exp. Hence my post here. Any idea?

I experienced that "Entry Point" error messages occure when using R and packages of different builts , e.g. using R 3.4 on packages of built 3.5 or the other way round...check if your R Version and packages are homogenous (use "installed.packages()") and try to re-install packages of current R Version which are not...this may solve the issue...

Apologies for the long delay in answering this issue 😞

I will close this issue since it's been open for so long, but if you still experience this issue in the newest released version (0.9.0), please file a new issue.
