R crashes on opening of script
4 messages · alpinemappingguild at earthlink.net, Rob Goedman, Simon Urbanek +1 more
Hi, 1) To get to the crash, go to Console.app in /Application/Utilities, click on Logs, select ~/Library/Logs and look under CrashReporter. 2) Could you send me your .plist file (in ~/Library/Preferences/org.R- project.R.plist)? Can you send those to me? Thanks, Rob

I'm sorry about that - the GUI version you are using (3819) was experimental and has a rather nasty bug in the document handling. Although updating the GUI to the latest development version is usually recommended as it contains bug fixes, occasionally it can happen that we actually introduce one in the process of fixing another one.

Thanks, this should be fixed now in the revision 3825 of the GUI - it will be available from the nightly builds website ( http:// r.research.att.com ) tonight.

There are two ways to get a crash report. The first one is simple - when an application crashes, OS X asks you whether you want to send a report to Apple. Say "yes" and it will show you a window with the full report - don't click on "Send to Apple", just copy the text of the report and send it to us instead. If you had a crash and want to see the report later, go to Application -> Utilities -> Console. If you don't see a list of logs on the left, click on "Logs" in the toolbar. Unfold ~/Library/Logs and there CrashReporter and then look for R.crash.log. It will have all your crashes, so look for the recent one.

Simon, I've tracked down the source of the error by installing versior 2.2.1 It turns out a few days ago I had disabled all my system fonts in order to troubleshoot some font problems. I had not re-activated them. As a result version 3.2.1 was very unstable. Version 2.2.1 was more stable and also returned an error message about a missing font. This led me to the problem. V.3.2.1 is now functioning as expected with all system fonts available. I had also installed the new GUI. Thanks for the response.
