Hi Simon,
Many thanks for your prompt reply and the link; it greatly helps, and I
appreciate it!
Yes, sorry for not detailing my issue further, but I did not want to
spam anybody with the log and configuration files I am using, so I cut
it short.
I will also look more carefully into the differences between “my” build
process and the CRAN builds;
it seems evident that I have overlooked something. My initial thought
was just that with all the API
changes going on and me using a more recent version of macOS for the
build than CRAN does,
The machine used for the M1mac additional issue is fully up-to-date, see
https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/M1mac/README.txt
Following the instructions in the R-admin manual and not by some third
party is always a good idea before posting.
Do please stop sending HTML, as required in the posting guide.
it would not surprise me that, at some point, something
had changed in macOS, causing this “user-interface-only” crash.
Anyway, so as not to bother you further, thanks again for the help. I am
good for now,
and if I figure out what has to be changed in my configuration to make
it work again, I will post it.
Kind regards,
Sebastian

Sebastian,
if you want to replicate the CRAN builds, you have to also use the
same settings, otherwise you may have a build which is not binary
compatible. It is unclear from your description how you built R (there
are several variants such as framework install vs "unix"-style install
and they are incompatible). You can see the flags actually used at the
top of ${R_HOME}/etc/Makevars.
As for macOS R binaries, all latest builds are always available from
https://mac.r-project.org/big-sur/last-success/
The fact that the main page itself is not showing R-devel is certainly
not intentional since the binaries are there - I’ll look into that,
thanks for reposting (you shouldn't wait months to report that ;)).
I did report it a month ago to Simon.
Thanks,
Simon

Hello,
I am writing because I have been struggling for a couple of months to
get R-devel to work in combination with
RStudio or the R GUI.
In the past, I had been downloading R-devel for macOS from https://
mac.r-project.org/, which
nearly always worked, however, for some (months I have in mind),
there aren't daily R-devel builds. So I started building
R from source following https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75595875/
how-do-i-build-r-from-sources-on-macos
Adapted to my system, this worked surprisingly well, so I kept
drawing R-devel from the SNV server on a regular
basis and built it from the source. However, it stopped working in
mid-August. In a nutshell:
- I can build R-devel from the source without any issue flagged, and
when started in the terminal, it works as expected.
- However, it crashes reproducibly when trying to load a package in
RStudio (stable/nightly build) and the R GUI (always the latest version)
terminates the R session on start. Error messages in the console I
get read as follows:
R GUI: Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation
fault: 11
RStudio: Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) -> /usr/lib/dyld 0x0
- 0xffffffffffffffff ??? (*) <00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000> ???
I can share the full logs, but I want to keep it short for now.
My questions are:
- Did anybody encounter such an issue with the latest R-devel and R
GUI, RStudio?
- Is this perhaps why an R-devel binary is currently not available on
https://mac.r-project.org/?
If I know that this is a known issue, it is all good; however, if it
works
For all others without, then the error must be on my end, and I have
to keep digging further.
- Tested systems: M2 -> macOS 14.5 to 15.0 with the Xcode on always
the latest version available at the time.
- SNV: Always the latest check out
Kind regards,
Sebastian Kreutzer
