Description

Hello. I haven't used iSH for a while and returned to using it and had a lot of run-time errors, and thus deleted the iSH app and re-installed it. I then next installed back R, with R-dev and R-doc but R doesn't seem to be working. The Alpine R packages seemed to install fine, but when I go to run R it gives me the introductory screen (OpenBLAS warning) and then just "hangs" (i.e. never gives me R cursor ">").

Does the latest R (4.0 or 4.1 from Alpine) still run on iSH?

Thanks for looking into this. :-)

Research direction

Reproduce the Alpine R installation in iSH and inspect the startup behavior after the OpenBLAS warning; the reported symptom is that R never presents its `>` prompt. Done means determining whether the current Alpine R packages work in iSH or documenting a confirmed incompatibility.
