I have used ComplexHeatmap several times in the past but recently I'm having this issue where the R session crashes when I try to plot any matrix with Heatmap(). Even a basic intro plot like the one in the example below creates a segfault. Reinstalling the package from Bioconductor or directly from GitHub repo didn't work either. Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?


> library(ComplexHeatmap)
Loading required package: grid
========================================
ComplexHeatmap version 2.18.0
Bioconductor page: http://bioconductor.org/packages/ComplexHeatmap/
Github page: https://github.com/jokergoo/ComplexHeatmap
Documentation: http://jokergoo.github.io/ComplexHeatmap-reference

If you use it in published research, please cite either one:
- Gu, Z. Complex Heatmap Visualization. iMeta 2022.
- Gu, Z. Complex heatmaps reveal patterns and correlations in multidimensional 
    genomic data. Bioinformatics 2016.


The new InteractiveComplexHeatmap package can directly export static 
complex heatmaps into an interactive Shiny app with zero effort. Have a try!

This message can be suppressed by:
  suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(ComplexHeatmap))
========================================

> m = matrix(rnorm(100), 10)
> Heatmap(m)

The error is occurring when loading the magick package, which may be broken. You could try loading that package in a clean R session to see if that is it, and if so you may need to reinstall.

oh I missed the reference to the magick package in the error message. Heatmap function worked fine after removing the package but created the same segfault after reinstalling it. For now, I'll just uninstall magick from my system. Thanks for the help James!
