Did you install R with Homebrew?

jpflores-13 · November 22, 2023, 8:30pm

I do not, I downloaded from CRAN. I’ve never had this happen before. I also restarted my system and reinstalled both R and RStudio. I also deleted any suspect .RData, .RProfile, etc files.

Another possibility: installed Intel version, not Silicon?

jpflores-13 · November 22, 2023, 10:00pm

I installed the Silicon version that should be compatible with macOS Monterey (12.2). The RStudio version I downloaded is indicated in the forum post. Pretty frustrating problem !

Ok, I've felt your pain over the past year.

Here's my setup. I'm using a supported version of macOS (only the current and two most recent are supported) on M1 and M3.

^{Created on 2023-11-22 with reprex v2.0.2}

Not clear, if you installed the Silicon version under 12.2 why session info is showing Intel under 10.15.7. Do you have multiple versions of R installed?

Ah, good catch... I don't think so?

Now I'm really confused. Where did the sessionInfo() from the top post come from?

jpflores-13 · November 23, 2023, 12:37am

That's from commandline, non-RStudio IDE R

technocrat · November 23, 2023, 1:13am

Ok, that makes sense since it can't be coming from RStudio (duh, me). But, but , but, sputter, sputter. Then shouldn't it look like:

for a Silicon?

jpflores-13 · November 23, 2023, 1:46am

Yeah, I think my output from my sessionInfo() command up top looks exactly like that... that's why I'm very confused about why RStudio won't open. Here it is again:

I thought the Intel thing you brought up earlier was a good point... that output was from the Troubleshooting button that RStudio offers you when it can't start up. I re-installed RStudio and R, making sure I downloaded the right version, and it still isn't working. My next idea is to just download a previous version...?

I just think it's weird that there's discordance between my commandline R's sessionInfo() and this RStudio report

technocrat · November 23, 2023, 7:58pm

I often resort to down-versioning. I looked under the hood and got an impression that dev testing is done under an emulator. Not sure. Perhaps this is a Rosetta thing?

jpflores-13 · November 25, 2023, 6:12pm

Figured it out! I needed to delete a directory: .../.local/share/rstudio/
