Hello Simon,
A couple of things, here.
From a terminal, using R CMD INSTALL, as well as using install.packages() from within R, packages get installed into the default .libPaths() location:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.2/Resources/library/
However, using the RGui menu Packages & Data / Package Installer, packages are installed in the R_LIBS_USER:
/Users/dusadrian/Library/R/x86_64/4.2/library
Since .libPaths() does not know this location, packages installed this way are not found.
Also, most likely unrelated to R 4.2 but to some unicode problems on Monterey, when using double-tab autocomplete in the RGui
(R for macOS GUI 1.78-devel High Sierra build 8067), I get an additional red message:
IsMenuKeyEvent: found no unichar data in event; retranslated without deadkeys to produce ' '
If this could somehow be captured and silenced by the GUI, it would be perfect. Otherwise, any hint on what should be done would be greatly appreciated.
I hope this helps,
Adrian

Dear Mac users,
we are nearing the release of R 4.2.0 (on Friday) which introduces some significant changes not only in R itself, but also in some Mac-specific build settings. Please help us by testing R pre-releases *before* the release such that any obvious issues can be caught prior to the release. The nightly pre-releases both for Intel Macs (high-sierra build) as well as M1 Macs (big-sur build) are available at
https://mac.r-project.org/
The nightly Installer packages (R-4.2-branch.pkg) are created just like the release and signed, but not always Apple notarized, so to install hold the <Ctrl> key when opening and pick "Open" in the dialog box if prompted.
Package binaries for R 4.2.0 are also now available on CRAN, please report any issues to me. The Mac Builder has also been updated to use latest libraries and it now defaults to the R pre-release.
Thanks,
Simon
