Error starting R: dydl: Library not loaded

RStudio IDE
1

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to all informatics related stuff but I'm excited to learn about it, particularly the bioinformatics field. I need a bit of help from you: I've been having trouble starting the latest version of RStudio in my computer. Every other version works, except for the very last one, and the package I need to use has some functions that I've been told only work in the latest version. This is the message that comes up:

I googled this error and found a couple of solutions that just don't seem to work on my computer. I have a MacOS HighSierra 10.13.6 and R version 4.2.2 (2022-10-31) "Innocent and Trusting".

Thanks in advance!

I would try :

brew install openssl

(in your terminal , not R console)

You are on macOS 10.13; RStudio requires macOS 11. Update your macOS and let us know if that doesn't resolve the issue for you!

I probably looked right past it, but I cannot find a mention of macOS version requirements on the Posit site. It would be helpful to have the link when responding to people with problems.

It's on the download page, https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/:

Thanks! I have been using daily builds, which have version numbers for all but macOS, for a long time and just did not see the 11+ for the release version. Will the daily builds get it too?

That's a great idea. Just added it. :slight_smile:
