Description

Hi,

After my last issue, I have found problems with loading tidyverse and related packages with the SimpleR extension (NetLogo would freeze). This happened in all machines I reported in the last issue, with the exception of Machine 2, which had R 4.3.0 (the other two had earlier versions).

I uploaded my R to 4.3.1, setted up the SimpleR extension and, only after I redefined my environmental PATH to match 4.3.1 (it was matching 4.2.1) and restart my notebook, I was able to use tidyverse with SimpleR again.

Not sure if this should stay open, but it might help other folks.

Thanks,

Research direction

Reproduce the tidyverse loading problem with the selected Rscript path differing from the R executable found through PATH. Inspect the extension's R setup and path handling; done should include a clear user alert when those paths do not match, without relying on the reported environment workaround.
