Startup Error with RStudio on Macbook Air 2017 (Mojave 10.14.4)

RStudio IDE
1

I have just downloaded R, RStudio, and XQuartz onto my 2017 Macbook Air which runs MacOS Mojave 10.14.4. It continually gives me a Startup Error. The version of R I downloaded is R 4.2.2 binary for macOS 10.13 (High Sierra ) and higher, Intel 64-bit. I can't seem to troubleshoot it; below is the problem report.

The bad news is that Mojave is no longer supported either by Apple or by RStudio which parallels. Only the current (Ventura) and two most recent releases (Monterrey and Big Sur) are now supported.

In particular, there is a missing system depenency

More bad news is that I don't see it on my 2021 Ventura arm setup.

Qualified good news is that if you upgrade macOS, Elspeth should mostly work (there are some troubles not yet resolved).

Update: I found it, which I had installed with brew.
