R lang throws the error: function ‘Rcpp_precious_remove’ not provided by package ‘Rcpp’ when you are trying load a package which is compiled using newer version of Rcpp, but your own system version is old.
Due to the breaking changes in new version, the old versions of Rcpp doesn’t support some syntax and constructs. That is why you get this error.
The solution to this issue is to update the version of Rcpp in your system.
Use this below command –
install.packages('Rcpp')
library(Rcpp)
Now restart your RStudio to let the changes take effect.
This will resolve your issue of cpp_precious_remove not being provided by Rcpp.
