R does not start on my MacBook Pro3,1

Thank you, that worked!  It's now again running happily.

Best,
Mary

Yes, remove  .Rhistory and possibly also .RData and your .Rprofile

Mary,
A somewhat similar problem happened to me in January.
Following the advice of Byron Ellis , I removed the .Rhistory file

From the crash report it looks like perhaps your history file has  
been corrupted. I'd delete it and try again

It's probably a file called .Rhistory in your home directory.

Help!   I was running R code and started getting error messages  
that would not stop repeating.  I force-quit R, but when I  
attempted to run it again, it would not start (Icon kept bouncing  
until I force-quit again).  I restarted the computer, then I  
reinstalled R, but that did not fix the problem.  I deleted  
everything I could find related to R, and installed again.  Each  
time I install I get a "successful" message, but it does not  
start.  I don't know what to try next.

I have the latest versions of the operating system.

Thanks very much for your time.
