R crashes upon loading mapview library

[aniruhil]

loading mapview (version 2.9.0) crashes R. Not sure what is going on here but this is a plain vanilla session, no RStudio involved. Same result if I try dev version 2.9.1.

> library(mapview)

 *** caught segfault ***
address 0x4, cause 'memory not mapped'

Thank you for any suggestions you may have!

Does this only happen with mapview?

[aniruhil]

And geojsonio

[tim-salabim]

Hm, I've never come across this issue before. Sounds more like a general R setup issue to me... You could try to

remotes::install_github("r-spatial/mapview")

to see if that solves it (which I doubt).

[aniruhil]

Tried that but as you suspected, didn't help. Thanks anyway for trying to sort it out. I will poke around, maybe wipe clean and reinstall R. Oddly enough mapdeck works just fine, as do all sf, tmap, leaflet etc.

[tim-salabim]

Does running sf::sf_extSoftVersion() work?

[aniruhil]

Yes, this is the output:

> sf::sf_extSoftVersion()
          GEOS           GDAL         proj.4 GDAL_with_GEOS     USE_PROJ_H 
       "3.9.1"        "3.2.2"        "7.2.1"         "true"         "true" 
          PROJ 
       "7.2.1" 

While I am waiting for 4.1 mac binary to be released next month, I thought I would try and set up a < 4.0 R package.

Installed mapview, dependencies, etc and it works. So the issue seems to be something about my R 4.0.5 installation. In case this tidbit helps.

This was happening to me as well. Reinstalling terra fixed it.

[ogletrees]

I have R crashing with mapview too, but when this occurs it will also crash with terra, raster, and tmap. Will be investigating more but wanted to add that in case it is of any help. (Win 10, R 4.2.1) Update: I found that uninstalling and reinstalling Rcpp package allowed these to load without crashing the session

[zjslagle]

I had this same problem; @ogletrees suggestion (reinstall Rcpp) worked. Thanks!
