I'm seeing a build issue with the current BiocParallel binary on macOS x86:

BiocManager::install("BiocParallel")
# Works in R, but fails in RStudio.
library(BiocParallel)

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘BiocParallel’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/site-library/BiocParallel/libs/BiocParallel.so':

  Referenced from: <BE9EB1DB-DF61-3612-B689-0B341783A2EC> /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/site-library/BiocParallel/libs/BiocParallel.so
  Reason: tried: '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3/Resources/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3/Resources/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3/Resources/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libR.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)

The binary build is attempting to locate libR.dylib in the incorrect place, which should be /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/lib/libR.dylib

Best, Mike

I don't think 1.33.12 is current -- does BiocManager::valid() report TRUE?

On my Apple Silicon Mac I just tried:

BiocManager::install("BiocParallel")
packageVersion("BiocParallel")
[1] ‘1.33.11’

And this is working inside of RStudio. I'll check on my Intel Mac that installed 1.33.12.

On my Intel Mac, seeing this:

Installing 'BiocParallel' with 'BiocManager::install' in '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/site-library'.
trying URL 'https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.17/bioc/bin/macosx/big-sur-x86_64/contrib/4.3/BiocParallel_1.33.12.tgz'

Aha I see the problem, the binaries are outdated:

> BiocManager::install("BiocParallel", type = "source", force = TRUE)
Bioconductor version 3.17 (BiocManager 1.30.20), R 4.3.0 (2023-04-21)
Installing package(s) 'BiocParallel'
trying URL 'https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.17/bioc/src/contrib/BiocParallel_1.34.0.tar.gz'

Here's a temporary fix in case anybody else hits this:

cd /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions
ln -s 4.3-x86_64 4.3

I think this means that your RStudio has a different .libPaths() than your R, probably because of a configuration file, maybe ~/.Rprofile on your system.

> .libPaths()
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/site-library"
[2] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.3-x86_64/Resources/library"

The problem here is that current binaries aren't available on macOS:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/BiocParallel.html

Source Package  BiocParallel_1.34.0.tar.gz
Windows Binary  BiocParallel_1.34.0.zip (64-bit only)
macOS Binary (x86_64)   BiocParallel_1.33.12.tgz
macOS Binary (arm64)    BiocParallel_1.33.11.tgz

Safe to close when 1.34.0 is updated in the repo

Yes, thanks the build systems don't (currently... they must have at one point) have Rmpi installed so I've asked to have that corrected.

I'm not sure that this explains differences between R versus RStudio, though, which was your original question. I guess these are actually different R? Or as mentioned earlier different .libPaths() (you only provided one .libPaths() above...)

Sorry should have been clearer -- libPaths are the same in R and RStudio. There's something weird going on between R and RStudio's handling of missing ldpaths.

I moved Rmpi to the 'Enhances' field, so the BiocParallel binary propagated for macOS (actually all platforms).

Does this address the problems you were having, or are there remaining issues?
