Problems with opening RStudio

When I try to open a freshly-installed RStudio, I am getting the following problem (and a blank application window):

ERROR r error 4 (R code execution error)
[errormsg=Error : package 'utils' does not have a namespace];
OCCURRED AT: core::Error r::exec::evaluateString(const std::string &, SEXP *, sexp::Protect *)
/Users/rstudio/rstudio/src/cpp/r/RExec.cpp:271

My specs:

Before, it was working (AFAIK with R 2.*).

Any ideas how to make it working?

Install your R again in a folder (without any space (Program Files folder has space) in the folder names like the following image)

enter image description here

Then open Rstudio (pressing Ctrl then click on icon) select new installed path for R

enter image description here

This solved the issue. In MAC use the command button.

The following commands worked for me:

┌─[ricardoramos]@[falcon]:~
└──> $ sudo mkdir .rstudio-deskop
[sudo] password for ricardoramos: 
┌─[ricardoramos]@[falcon]:~
└──> $ sudo chown -R ricardoramos ~/.rstudio-desktop

after installing r with brew, installing rstudio failed (the downloaded size had also been about 5mb so i was already scare). I just downloded rstudio and installed it in the Applications folder, without uninstalling r and it worked. installing and updating packages has also been a breeze for me.

I had this same issue after I installed R via Homebrew. The only way I was able to fix it was to uninstall the Homebrew "version" of R.

brew uninstall r

Then reinstalling R directly from CRAN

That worked for me.

This was the case for me too, for days! Guess what, I solved it!

While installing R-Studio, after downloading *.pkg file ( not by homebrew) from the CRAN's site , select customize and deselect R.app gui to prevent it from installing. I think it has a nasty conflict with RStudio.

To help those googling the crash report content:

  1. Press and hold Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ (Mac) when starting RStudio
  2. Choose manually a specific version of R (you may want to install it in a directory without 'spaces' or something in the path).

It worked like a charm for me.
