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

[Simon Urbanek]

Fernando,

I don't think you posted the error you get when running R on the command line - can you copy/paste what you get when running R in the Terminal? Similarly, do you also get an error when running the R app (in Applications)?

Cheers,
Simon

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.
