Packages Crashing R after Using OpenBLAS

Question

So I have two R's installed (both v 3.5.0), one running on the default BLAS (for Mac) and one running on OpenBLAS. They are not installed on the same location on my Mac. I'm going to call the one with default BLAS (normal R), the other is Open R. Normal R runs perfectly. The one for OpenBLAS has issues. Specifically Open R is struggling with packages. I can tell Open R where to find the already installed packages Normal R but when I try to load a package this message is returned:

*** caught segfault ***
address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped'

followed by a traceback. Alternatively, if I try to install a package from CRAN I get the same warning. I really need OpenBLAS to work with R (I'm doing benchmark research) but am stuck on what I need to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

您可以尝试使用OpenBLAS选项通过自制程序安装R。

brew install r --openblas
