I am also running R Studio 2021.09.0 (Build 338) and R 4.1.2 on a Mac M1 Monterey. My R Studio is working fine, but I am getting the exact same error message when I try to run radian.

I am hoping someone will answer your question as I may help me as well. With the M1 chip I am never sure which version to install. Whenever I see 'arm' I always think Raspberry Pi and I hope my Mac M1 has a more power chip than the Raspberry Pi.

Hi,

I am also having the same issue. I have R version 4.1.2 for aarch64-apple-darwin20 and have tried the latest stable RStudio Build (2021.09.1+372) as well as a daily build from today (11/20/2021), and for both have received the same error messages when opening RStudio. I tried the preview release too and that didn't work.

I am able to run R from my terminal and from within Rapp. I am on macOS Monterery Version 12.0.1 with a Macbook Air M1 2020 (16 GB, 1TB). To date, I have had no issues running the arm64 builds of R through the Intel-based RStudio build until I restarted my computer after various software updates. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both R and Rstudio, and have not found a proper solution.

Hoping someone out there knows what's going on. I have several projects I'm working on in RStudio that I only have time for on the weekends.

Maybe we need to try and install older versions of both until this gets sorted out?

The process output: " The R session process exited with code 6 ."

Hi everyone,

Not sure if anyone else is still having problems, but I was able to find a solution to this issue.

Many thanks to this person for figuring it out. Basically, move the application and define a symbolic link, and try opening RStudio. If opening fails, execute the last line of code as stated in the comment. Who knew it was this simple?

cd /Applications/Rstudio.app/Contents/MacOS
mv rsession rsession-x86
ln -s rsession-arm64 rsession
# Open RStudio and if it fails then run this:
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/RStudio.app

I am not very good at the technical stuff, but after searching around it appears to be a problem with how the M1/Monterey reads binary files. I think you have a far better understanding than me, so: I tried doing what is suggested above, but it did not resolve the following issue:

macOS - package installation issues

Thank you yet again! Passing "mac.binary" to the type worked for loading the packages, but when I run > library("faraway") I get Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘faraway’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...): unable to load shared object '/opt/homebrew/lib/R/4.1/site-library/minqa/libs/minqa.so': dlopen(/opt/homebrew/lib/R/4.1/site-library/minqa/libs/minqa.so, 0x0006): tried: '/opt/homebrew/lib/R/4.1/site-library/minqa/libs/minqa.so' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e')), '/usr/lib/minqa.so' (no such file) So for me, it appears like things have been loaded, but that homebrew can't utilise the binary file or something? It a…

If you could have a look and suggest a way to fix it I would be very grateful!

Thanks
