[R-SIG-Mac] Serious problem with R on macOS

[DePaolis, Fernando]

Thank you all…it is not an RStudio issue. I cannot run R from its app or the command line…It is certainly an R issue.
Next time it ‘uninstalls itself’ I will try to install it on another user and see what happens (although I have already tried to install it ‘just for me’ or for all users).

Thank you again,

You don't often get email from federico.calboli using luke.fi. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
If you can use R.app or R on the terminal, it is a R studio bug.  Have you tested?  Also, ‘reinstall’ works best after removing all actual files, such as the whole ~/.R, all the ~/.R* files, and whatever R studio might add.

Hello,
For a few months now, I’ve been having an odd and rather annoying problem. I use RStudio and it frequently cannot start R, producing the error message attached below. This is clearly not the, as I worked on it the night before or even just a few hours earlier. What is clear is that R is not available on my system, although all the files are still there (in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework). It could be that a critical file becomes corrupted, or the system can’t find it. I have not been able to determine whether that is the case, or which file could be affected. I might have re-installed R dozens of times in the last month. This is something that never happened in the previous more than 15 years of using R.

I’ve tried everything I can think of, and the problem persists…and haven’t found any satisfactory feedback online either.
Have you ever heard of a problem like this? Or do you have any suggestions?

Thank you so much for your support.
