What do you get from the console with

.libPaths()

Note the odd initial period. And is it different in the R GUI or terminal?

3

Both RStudio and R give:
.libPaths()
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library"
Terminal :slight_smile: (base) MBPtilhdeHenrik:PiloKubota XXXXXXX$
Changed directory but still experience the errors

4

Looking through the files it seems that "lib" is missing? /4.1/Resources/lib/libR.dylib'

Here is what you should have if R has been installed from CRAN with the defaults:

 pwd
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2-arm64/Resources/lib

4.2-arm64/Resources/lib🔒

These are needed to hook packages into the R eco-system. Correspondingly, R default for Mac is

❯ l /usr/local/bin/R
lrwxr-xr-x 47 root 30 Nov 22:17 /usr/local/bin/R -> /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R

Check in the terminal to confirm you are similar?

Yes finally I found out how to document it - all the files and the referral is in place

temporary solution: installed RStudio 2022.07.2 Build 576 and it solved the problems. It would be nice to have a future-proofed solution
