I’m new to R but not statistical programming and keep getting the same error after looking to use R, RStudio, and Rtools. I rolled back to R 4.3.0 with RStudio 2023.3.0 and Rtools 43 based on some AI suggestions but it’s all still throwing the same error and don’t know where to go next. I need the stats package to be able to run analysis and import files. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated as this is putting a halt to data review.

Setting enviornmental variables, rolling back to versions stated to be more stable

Stable on first install/review but not anytime after

full error:
