Rstudio fatal error starting

RStudio IDE
23

Hi all -- I've been trying to solve the same problem for a few days - R-Studio fatal error on start up, with Mac M1 Ultra, Ventura 13.2.
Per the above discussion, I tried downversioning to 2022.07.1+554 . This didn't work.
However, I noticed that in the (failed) R-Studio app it was finding R version 4.2.1 - which was odd, because at the (Mac OS X) terminal I was on 4.2.2. .. So, noting use a different r version temporarily in rstudio which speaks to the order of R that R-Studio looks for, I manually checked for R versions sitting in other places. This is what I found:

  • /usr/local/bin/R --> 4.2.1
  • /opt/local/bin/R --> 4.2.2
    R-studio addresses these location in the order above. So I sudo rm the offending 4.2.1 version, and then tried re-starting R-Studio 2022.07.1+554. Voila! loaded perfectly and asked if I wanted to upgrade. (haven't been game yet).
