R help - Jan 2018 - semPLS package will not load seems to be failing on loading package lattice

Hi R Help Team

I recently updated my R installation to R 3.4.3 and updated to later version of
R Studio and I found that the package semPLS will not load even though installed
and it seems to be failing on loading package lattice

Getting the following error message:

library(semPLS)
Loading required package: lattice
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'lattice':
.onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'grid', details:
  call: fun(libname, pkgname)
  error: object 'C_initGrid' not found
Error: package 'lattice' could not be loaded

Any advice or help on this bug would be much appreciated

Best regards Michael

Although it is the attempt to load lattice that triggers the fault, the
difficulty actually reported was with loading the 'grid' Namespace. The
grid package is one of the core R packages, so I have two suggestions:

First try to load grid as a package. (Although it's a core R package, it is
not automatically loaded when R starts.)

library(grid)

If that fails then you clearly have a broken installation of R, and would need
to reinstall. If it doesn't fail, then the error message would seem to be a
puzzle, and you should re-read the Posting Guide and follow the instructions on
reported unexpected behavior which you have so far only followed very
incompletely.
