<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:#2F5496;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual">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.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
