The typical reason for a crash on startup is a corrupted (or version mismatched) .RData file.

Dear R-Help Group:

R will not start on my imac running 10.6.2. I installed both R2.10.1 and 2.10.0 from pkg. It crashed on both. I tried both the R and R64 apps and
both versions 2.10.1 and 2.10.0.  I googled and found nothing on this.

Below is part of report:

If I delete my Rprofile, R will sometimes run but hangs and goes
non-responsive when I type only one letter of a command.

cat .Rprofile
# Example of .Rprofile
    .First <- function() {
       library(bayesm)
         library(tcltk)
       cat(" tcltk,bayesm loaded \n\n")
   }
      source("my_R_functions.R")
     cat(" custom functions loaded \n")
    .Last <- function()  cat("\n   Goodbye!\n\n")


I have fully updated by mac os.

Any help would be most appreciated.
