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.

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/
