I am using a snakemake code that is calling for R for some bioinformatical analysis. As I am trying to generate plots on a cluster, in one of the final steps of the pipeline, I am receiving an error message.

The code:

rule plot_macs_qc:
    input:
        get_called_peaks
    output:
        summary="results/peak_calling/plots/plot_{peak_profile}_peaks_summary.txt",
        plot="results/peak_calling/plots/plot_{peak_profile}_peaks.pdf"
    log:
        "logs/plot_macs_qc/plot_{peak_profile}_peaks.log"
    params:
        peak_files=lambda wc, input: ",".join(input),
        sample_ids=",".join(get_sample_control_combinations())
    conda:
        "../envs/peak_qc.yaml"
    shell:
        f"Rscript {workflow.basedir}/scripts/plot_macs_qc.R "
        f"-i {{params.peak_files}} "
        f"-s {{params.sample_ids}} "
        f"-o {{output.plot}} "
        f"-p {{output.summary}} 2> {{log}}"

The error message:

Warning message:
package ‘optparse’ was built under R version 4.0.5 
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/omics/odcf/analysis/OE0538_projects_temp/DO-0009/yoav/R/Libs/rlang/libs/rlang.so':
  /omics/odcf/analysis/OE0538_projects_temp/DO-0009/yoav/R/Libs/rlang/libs/rlang.so: undefined symbol: R_NewEnv
In addition: Warning message:
package ‘ggplot2’ was built under R version 4.4.0 
Execution halted

The steps I've tried so far are:

• reinstalling rlang, also after deleting the containing folder and the cache
• ensuring rlang and ggplot2 are compiled to the correct R version (4.4.0) and are located in the right library path

Thank you in advance for any help!

PS. I don't have admin permissions to change any root permissions on the cluster
