Dear Roger,

This works perfectly fine for me on an apparently similar system, with 
the exceptions that I'm running R 4.0.4, have many fewer packages 
loaded, and am in a slightly different locale:

--------------- snip ------------

1 'mpfr' number of precision  120   bits

--------------- snip ------------

You might try updating R or running Rmpfr in a cleaner session.

I hope this helps,
