'R_user_dir' is not an exported object from 'namespace:tools'

[amirmazmi]

Getting the below error trying to use duckdb.

Installation step: install.packages("duckdb") which then compiles duckdb

try to run as per below

> con <- duckdb::dbConnect(duckdb())
Error: 'R_user_dir' is not an exported object from 'namespace:tools'

For this version of R (3.6.3 ), R_user_dir is in backports. Not sure what namespace::tools is.

Tried running

> duckdb()
Error: 'R_user_dir' is not an exported object from 'namespace:tools'

which is most likely the source calling R_user_dir()

If no workaround exists, any chance a previous version of duckdb would work with R 3.6.3? Current work centred around this version for now.
