Hum, it's not like it cannot work (on iMac running High Sierra):
> help("help") # works fine
You might want to check if anything is non-TRUE here:
> capabilities()
jpeg png tiff tcltk X11 aqua
http/ftp sockets
TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
TRUE TRUE
libxml fifo cledit iconv NLS profmem
cairo ICU
TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
TRUE TRUE
long.double libcurl
TRUE TRUE
And you seem to have more than the defaults attached, I only have compiler and
tools. Perhaps check ~/.RData and config files?:
