Can you try (from the Terminal) loading R like follows? R --vanilla
Assuming that that works, it appears that you have a (big) .RData file that is loaded during startup. You may want to check its size by running (also from the Terminal) du -h ~/.RData To give you a chance of inspecting its contents before removal, you can rename it (from the Terminal): mv ~/.RData ~/PreviousResultsFromR.RData After renaming it, you should be able to load R without problems. b On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 9:04 AM, carolina plescia <carolina.ples...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > > > R is not running on my Mac (Leopard 10.5.8) any more. > > I have used R since last year and it had worked always perfectly.
