Hi - In an off-list e-mail exchange David Diez suggested that the little bash function I put together might be useful for others. This isn't a 'fix,' just a way to simplify getting R running again. From David's experience it sounds like the only real fix available now is to completely erase your hard drive and re-install Sierra, R, etc.
My problems with R generally occur when I attempt to open an existing file when working in R. I use "standard" R with the R GUI from CRAN. Instead of seeing the list of available files, an empty window appears along with the dreaded spinning beach ball. At this point I have to go to the Finder and force R to quit. I added the following function to my .bashrc file: function fixRhang() { cd ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State rm -R org.R-project.R.savedState/ cd rm .Rhistory } After I force R to quit, I open an XQuartz window, and just enter bash-3.2$ fixRhang At this point, I can open R again and continue working (though obviously the command history is empty). I'm sure that there are better (or more efficient) ways of accomplishing this, but it works for me.
