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

[DePaolis, Fernando]

�well�here it goes again�it failed just now. This is the message I get when I try to run R from the command line on my mac


fernandodepaolis using MacBook-Pro-2 ~ % R



R version 4.3.0 (2023-04-21) -- "Already Tomorrow"

Copyright (C) 2023 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing

Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit)



R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

You are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions.

Type 'license()' or 'licence()' for distribution details.



  Natural language support but running in an English locale



R is a collaborative project with many contributors.

Type 'contributors()' for more information and

'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications.



Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or

'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.

Type 'q()' to quit R.



During startup - Warning message:

package �datasets� in options("defaultPackages") was not found

Error in loadNamespace(name) : object 'pkgInfo' not found

In addition: Warning message:

In loadNamespace(name) : package �compiler� has no 'package.rds' in Meta/

Fatal error: unable to initialize the JIT



There was no �message� of any sort when trying to run R.app. There was a brief flickering (like quick blinking) but nothing else.

Thank you!

[You don't often get email from simon.urbanek using r-project.org. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ]

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.
