[R-SIG-Mac] R 4.1 for my Mac M1 crashing on installing packages

[Simon Urbanek]

Renato,

just open the Console application (under Utilities) - it has all logs from your machine - there will be either an R crash log or some entries in the system log.

As for packages, it will be solved once the R 4.1.0 binaries for arm64 are released (as soon as all builds finish), but you will have to make sure you re-install all packages to remove the pre-releases.

Thanks,
Simon
