R Session Aborted when loading package

Question

My RStudio (0.99.879, R 3.2.3, OSX 10.11.3) crashes with the R Session Aborted error box every time I run require(ggvis) (v0.4.2). I've reinstalled R, RStudio and ggvis - no change. Any idea what's causing this, or how to traceback?

Running Sys.getenv() gives me this report, if it helps.

Does it help if you try re-installing the dependencies of `ggvis` as well? E.g. `deps <- tools::package_dependencies("ggvis", db = available.packages())$ggvis; install.packages(deps)` — Kevin Ushey, Feb 23 '16 at 00:07
Oooh that worked, thanks! Wasn't aware of `tools::package_dependencies `.. Want to add as answer for the tick? — geotheory, Feb 23 '16 at 00:09

Sometimes startup errors like this can be caused by out-of-date dependent packages. You can try updating the packages that ggvis depends on with:

db <- available.packages()
deps <- tools::package_dependencies("ggvis", db)$ggvis
install.packages(deps)

You should increase the memory size. This will solve your problem. memory.limit(size=4096) #This will make the memory 4MB

This question was already answered and the answer was accepted, so I don't see how your answer can be correct. – Clonkex Jun 30 '17 at 06:57

@Garima-Singh IMO you should ignore that comment. Subsequent answers can often be better than those accepted. And welcome to SO :) – geotheory Jun 30 '17 at 19:30
The OP is using a Mac but memory.limit() only has an effect on Windows. – Peter Harrison Jun 11 '18 at 15:09
