All,

The following code crashes by R on my mac with a message "R session
aborted.  A fatal error occured".

```
library(Rmpfr)
Rmpfr::mpfr(pi, 120)
```

Does anyone have any suggestions?   My session info is below:

It works for me, on a slightly different system than yours:

this is probably a Mac M1.
The problem and potential solution is described here:

Richard,

Yes, I am on an M1, sorry I didn't mention it.  Sounds like I just have to
wait a bit until the problem is fixed in Rosetta2 (whatever that is).
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Roger
