David,
Thank you. You are correct - I was inadvertently accessing an old version. Deleting the old and re-installing means I can fire up R V3.0.1 which runs fine.
However, I still can't get R Studio to start up, receivng the following message:
ERROR r error 4 (R code execution error) [errormsg=Error in identical(call[[1L]], quote(doTryCatch)) :
7 arguments passed to .Internal(identical) which requires 5
, code=local(source("/Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/Resources/R/Tools.R", local=TRUE, echo=FALSE, verbose=FALSE, encoding='UTF-8'))]; OCCURRED AT: core::Error r::exec::<anonymous namespace>::evaluateExpressions(SEXP, SEXP, SEXP *, sexp::Protect *) /Users/rstudio/rstudio/src/cpp/r/RExec.cpp:145
Even though I re-installed the latest version 0.97.551. I wonder if there is an old Library or other support file that was not properly replaced?
This isn't the right venue for difficulties with RStudio. They have their own mailing list or forum or whatever.

Possibly I need to completely clean out the installation and start again? but I'm not sure precisely where the R support files are stored on Macs. Can anyone give me a pointer and/or suggest an alternative fix? >>> >> R 2.11.1 is a rather archaic version. The current version is 3.0.1. You seems to have skipped major versions 2.12, 2.13,, 2.14 2.15. I doubt that OSX 10.8.4 was available when 2.11.1 was compiled. There is a mailing list for MacOS versions of R but I doubt there will be much interest in supporting version 2.11.1 on OSX 10.8.4. I suggest you install instead version 3.0.1 >> >> > David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA
