R and R studio won't load aplpack

I am using R/Rstudio (version 4.0.3 - "Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out") and have installed the aplpack package. However, when I go to load the package, it just loads forever without actually activating the package. I'm currently running macOS Big Sur 11.2 and I have the latest version of XQuartz installed. To load the package, I am using

library(aplpack)

I saw that someone else has had a similar problem, but they were running a different OS and their question was never answered. I'm hoping someone out there can help.

UPDATE: As was requested in the comments, here is the Sys.info() and the sessionInfo() information:

`Sys.info()

sysname "Darwin" release "20.3.0" version "Darwin Kernel Version 20.3.0: Thu Jan 21 00:07:06 PST 2021; root:xnu-7195.81.3~1/RELEASE_X86_64"`

`sessionInfo()

If you want to reach the R - Mac experts, a posting to the ("good old") R-SIG-Mac (R Special Interest Group @ Mac) mailing list will reach them, notably the R Core team members involved: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

I was able to install and open the aplpack package (macOS Big Sur 11.2) using install.packages("aplpack"); library(aplpack) but it did take some time to load (~2 mins). I suspect your issue is related to xquartz. Xquartz no longer comes installed with macOS, so a likely solution to your problem is to install an up-to-date version of xquartz (https://www.xquartz.org/releases/) and ensure it can be opened from RStudio using x11()
