[Rd] unable to load shared object

[Witold E Wolski]

Thanks for asking.

The path where R tries to load the dll from does not exist I think (or
the install process deletes it after the error - might this be the
case?):
C:/Users/wewol/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/grpc/libs/x64/grpc.dll'

When I am checking after the error that path is only valid up to:
C:/Users/wewol/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/

So maybe (?) the install process wrongly assums that the package is
installed (but it never was) and than it executes
** testing if installed package can be loaded

To run into the error.

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'grpc' in inDL(x,
as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):
 unable to load shared object
'C:/Users/wewol/OneDrive/Documents/R/win-library/3.5/grpc/libs/x64/grpc.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be found.
