system files is discussed and a semi-regular basis:

Thanks Duncan,
I managed to get R to start through the terminal this way. Still no
luck
getting the R.app to start. Is it possible to directly access (and
then
trash or modify) the .RData and .RProfile files? I assume they would
be
recreated if I could then open the R.app. Having searched for them on
spotlight and in the /user/library folder, I don't see them anywhere
- are
they always located in the same place on OS X?
thanks,
Steve

Dear R users,
I am running R 2.10.0 on OS X 10.5.8.
I had been running 2.10 successfully for about a week (and have used
previous R versions for 2+ years on the same computer) until 2
days ago
it
failed to start up for me. Now when I try to start R, the
application
tries
to initiate for several minutes then crashes. Looking at the
activity
monitor, my memory usage goes from having about 1.6Gb free (out of
2Gb)
to
<7Mb in the first 10-15 seconds of attempting to start the
program. At
this
point I either have to force quit R (as everything starts to
freeze up)
or
wait several minutes for it to crash.
I have erased the application and reinstalled it 4 times now - with
exactly
the same result. I looked around in the Library and System folders
to see
if
any other files needed to be removed, but couldn't find any. I
have also
restarted the computer and repaired permissions multiple times -
and then
reinstalled R, with no luck. The exact same thing happens if I
start R64.
I did not updated OS X or R, or install any other programs, just
prior to
this first happening and am at a loss to explain what's going on.
I have
copied the first part of one of the crash logs below. Does anyone
have
any
ideas for to remedy this?
It sounds like one of your user-specific startup files is causing the
problem, e.g. .RData, or .Rprofile. Did you try starting R with
option
--vanilla? That will skip them.

best,
