The following R code causes R to crashes under recent r-devel builds of R:
library(ggplot2)
RCBD.lay <- data.frame(Blocks = factor(rep(1:5, each = 6)),
Units = factor(rep(1:6, times = 5)),
Treatments = factor(rep(1:6, times = 5)))
ggplot(data = RCBD.lay, aes(x = Units, y = Blocks, label = Treatments)) +
geom_text(aes(colour = Treatments))
I have installed and am running R on a Windows 10 machine with Rtools34.exe
installed. I am using RStudio version 1.1.383
This bug happens with combined Windows 32/64 bit binary builds of the
2017-11-11 r73707 and 2017-11-14 r73724 development snapshot of R. It does not
occur under the build of the 2017-06-27 r72859 development snapshot of R.
I installed the latest build with an empty R library tree " D:/Analyses/R
LibDevel".
> .libPaths()
[1] "D:/Analyses/R LibDevel"
[2] "C:/Program Files/StatSoft/R/R-devel.724/library"
I installed package ggplot2 and its dependencies from CRAN using RStudio. As a
result the following 20 packages were the only packages installed in the
previously empty library tree:
"colorspace","dichromat","digest","ggplot2","gtable","labeling","lazyeval",
"magrittr","munsell","plyr","R6","RColorBrewer","Rcpp","reshape2","rlang","scales",
"stringi","stringr","tibble","viridisLite"
I then executed the above code in the Console window of Rstudio (running 64 bit
R) and received the message "R Session aborted" with the information that "R
encountered a fatal error".
I also started the RGui for the 64-bit version and entered the same code into
the console. The error message displayed in a dialog box was "R Windows GUI
front-end has stopped working". Closing the dialog box cause RGui to close.
I had a similar experience with the package XLConnect.
Having used remove.packages to remove the ggplot2 and associated packages from
the library, I installed XLConnect and it dependencies from CRAN from RStudio.
Now the packages installed in "D:/Analyses/R LibDevel" were: "rJava",
"XLConnect", "XLConnectJars".
In this case executing library(XLConnect) cause the same response - "R Session
aborted" with the information that "R encountered a fatal error".
These are not packages that I maintain. However, I have packages (imageData and
dae) that depend on ggplot2 and it seems that this bug is preventing me from
compiling the packages under the most recent builds, although I can build the
packages under the build of the 2017-06-27 r72859 development snapshot of R.
