guys.
I am currently trying to build an R package (using rcpp). By this suggestion, I encountered an error, which was fixed by putting the following line in src/Makevar and/or src/Makevar.win.
PKG_CXXFLAGS = -DRCPP_ARMADILLO_FIX_Field
However, this error disappeared when I run my function in Windows on my laptop, but it again appeared in Linux. (I usually wirte the code in Windows on my laptop and run the code by using Linux for parallel computing provided by my university) It seems that that line can remove the flag in Windows but cannot remove it in Linux.
How can this happen, and how can I fix this?
I'm an Ubuntu user and I used to work with the standard version of Rstudio on my computer. After reading about the server version I installed it on my PC and I'm working with it now. Although I'm very happy with rstudio-server version, I have been facing some difficulties to keep with some old practices. Particularly, I use to launch, open and create new files from the terminal using rstudio keyword - I'm specially fond to the possibility of open files in current rstudio session through the terminal window within rstudio. However, I cannot figure out which command is equivalent in rstudio-server.
I tried, without success, the following commands:
rstudio-server
and
r-server
Interestingly, when I type which rstudio (to find the path of the program's binary files), the terminal did not return any results. The program is installed and working normally, but I just can't find it on my PC
Any help will be appreciated
I'm taking a course in R and I've hit a road block on day one.
Typing:
demo(graphics)
...should start a series of graphs being displayed on screen. On my Windows 10 (64 bit) new Dell laptop, I get a persistent error:
The execution is stopped after the red lines, seemingly because the demo(graphics) call is being made with incompatible parameters. In blue I make the same call but use the default function and an empty plot is displayed.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, installing through Anaconda and from the CRAN website. The same error persists. I've even tried with mro instead of basic R.
I don't see any similar error messages in my class or on Google. My guess is that I need to install a particular version of R and RStudio make it work but I'm guessing.
Can anybody offer some expertise?
I'm running R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) (which is executing code correct, just not the demo call) and RStudio Version
Running the basic Rgui software from the command line with the --vanilla parameter like so:
Rgui --vanilla
Opened Rgui and the
demo(graphics)
...call worked.
This meant that the issue was in the .Rprofile file. This is found in the etc folder of the basic R installation and when I checked, it looked absolutely fine (entirely commented out actually).
I wanted to use RStudio though, so I investigated the RStudio docs and saw that each project is given its own .Rprofile style initialization file when a new project is created.
So I created a new project with RStudio and by creating a new project whatever configuration issue was causing the error was completely fixed.

I am having an issue starting RStudio (desktop) that I did not have before.
When I fire-up RStudio, within seconds, the grey screen freezes with the following error message:
RStudio Initialization Error
Unable to establish connection with R session
Once I click 'OK', I get the following two error messages:
RStudio
Unexpected exception: The complexity of the regular expression exceeded predefined bounds...
and...
R encountered a fatal error. The session was terminated.
Any help in resolving these errors is much appreciated.
The "unexpected exception" error reads as though something's going wrong with RStudio trying to run something it's loading automatically as it is starting up. So, the related question is: how can I start RStudio fresh without opening any of the previous files/code/data?
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both R and RStudio, and R is installed fine (I can open and work on the R console).
I am working with:
Mac OSX 10.10.5
R 3.3.3
RStudio 1.1.423
Thank you!
Just received word from the RStudio team and their solution worked for me.
Indeed, RStudio is crashing while attempting to open a file you had
opened from a previous session. You should be able to work around this
by resetting your RStudio state.
The instructions to reset RStudio are here. Relevant excerpts:
RStudio Desktop stores your custom settings and options in a hidden
directory called RStudio-Desktop. If this directory does not exist,
RStudio will create it on start up. This directory includes user
settings, log files, and other state information. Removing (or
renaming) this directory will reset RStudio's state analogous to a
fresh installation.
We recommend renaming this directory to create a backup version
instead of completely deleting it. This allows you to save your
settings, in case you want to revert back to them. Additionally, if
you experienced a crash or RStudio failed to start, this directory may
contain vital information for determining the source of the error. In
this case, we recommend renaming this directory to
backup-rstudio-desktop and sending it along if asked by RStudio
Support.
So, simply removing the ~/.rstudio-desktop file (actually, renaming it to ~/backup-rstudio-desktop so that I have a backup) just solved the start-up issue!
As a FYI to anybody who tried the solution above without success, I ended up updating/reinstalling the xfun package (install.packages("xfun")), which resolved this issue for me when resetting my RStudio state did not.
When I start RStudio, none of the windows inside the main frame come up, and none of the menu options display menu options when clicked. It's just an blank page.
It feels like some kind of graphics rendering or window management problem.
I'm running Windows 7. I have the latest version of R, which is 3.1.1. I have the latest RStudio, which is 98.1062.
How to fix it?
Reset the RStudio state. Do this:
Close RStudio if open.
Go to this directory: %localappdata%\RStudio-Desktop
Rename that directory as a type of backup.
Start RStudio.
RStudio will see the configuration directory is missing and regenerate it with correct values.
Everything should work after that.

Thanks!
Renaming the RStudio state by renaming %localappdata%\RStudio-Desktop did not work for me. However i made it work by renaming another config folder in %appdata% instead.
Close RStudio
Go to this directory: %appdata%\RStudio
Rename the folder
Restart RStudio
I faced the same issue when I downgraded my version of R.
I did try the above solutions. However, it didn't work for me.
After some googling, I found out that the issue was because now I had a different version of R installed. Here's how you can choose the version of R and rectify the issue.
Navigate to the RStudio installation folder. (C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin)
Press and hold Control Key
Double click on rstudio.exe
Choose a specific version of R (whichever you want to work with)
Click OK and RStudio should open without any issues.
NB: I use 64bit Windows 8.1.
I had the same issue and I almost gave up about solving it but then I found a suggestion that GitHub might be the problem. I am not sure how that is happening but the minute I uninstalled GitHub and re-launched Rstudio, it worked perfectly as nothing happened!? Here is the link for where I found the suggestion on Rstudio community page: (https://support.rstudio.com/hc/communities/public/questions/200983187-R-studio-0-98-797-for-mac-opens-as-blank-white-page)
I had the same problem and figured out that for some reason R was blocked on the step of loading my library from a website (I added it to Rprofile for auto-load). You can test the following:
1) Try to run just R console, not RStudio, and then click on blank space - normally some information should appear
2) Try to launch without network connection
On a Mac (Running Yosemite 10.10.3) this is what worked for me:
Move/Rename ~/.rstudio-desktop
(Many responses have mentioned this, but this by itself didn't help.)
Then I shutdown my Mac and restarted it. RStudio worked when I logged back in.
Before that, I tried every one of the steps mentioned here and in many other links, including re-downloading R and RStudio, but unfortunately none of those steps helped in my case.
Search this documentation for 'Blank GUI'.
This is what I found which worked for me:
In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Users\currentUser\AppData\Roaming\RStudio.
Delete the Desktop.ini file
This technique forces RStudio to refresh and default to open-source R as the engine
Same issue I faced so I unistalled the windows installer and downloaded zip version from this link https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/
Unziped It and pasted it into c drive and created shortcut from Rstudio/bin/rstudio.exe file.
Working properly after that no issue. In windows installer checked that r session is not working due to an missing dll.
So try to install from ZIP
I had the same problem like Thomas
When I start RStudio, none on the windows inside the main frame come up, and none of the menu options display menu options when clicked. It's just an blank page.
My problem was, that i uninstalled R because is thought RStudio will work on its own.
So i uninstalled RStudio and deleting every existing file which was created by R or RStudio.
In the next step i installed RStudio again.
It was asking for a Version of R (which i dont had in this state). So i installed R again and everything is working fine now. I hope this helps
I had a slight variation of the problem that might be of interest. I had set up an aliases.cmd to run my cygwin bash shell automatically upon launch of a cmd terminal as per:
https://superuser.com/questions/302194/automatically-executing-commands-when-a-command-prompt-is-opened
What RStudio was doing was launching a few cmd windows in the background to (I assume) populate each pane and the console.
This was triggering a bash shell which wasn't returning and was hanging RStudio.
If you have this issue you can just manually kill the sub bash terminals spawned by cmd via ProcessExplorer/TaskManager and RStudio will continue to launch normally.
If anyone else has set anything to launch automatically on init of a cmd terminal then this could interfere in the same way with RStudio.
The RStudio devs could probably fix this behind the scenes by changing the way they spawn cmd terminals in the gui.
I had a similar problem. After trying the options above with no luck, I uninstalled Rx64 3.5.0 and installed an older version, R x64 3.2.2.
Rstudio then worked perfect.
