[Rd] Building R from source always fails on tools:::sysdata2LazyLoadDB

[Martin Morgan]

Thanks Ivan & Tomas

A simpler way to trigger the problem is library(tools) or library.dynam("tools", "tools", ".") so I guess it is loading src/tools.so

Ivan, adding -d lldb I need to tell lldb where to find the R library

(lldb) process launch --environment DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/ma38727/bin/R-devel/lib

And then `library(tools)` works. To run lldb I needed to grant Xcode permissions using my local administrator account.

@Thomas I can't see anything in the Console app logs, but this might be partly my ineptitude.

If it is macOS, it might be worth checking the system logs (Console
app). It may be some system security feature.
