There are several reports for this issue all dating 2 to 3 years back:
Most of them are referring to older system versions and older ggplot2 version. I'm wondering if anybody found alternative solution to the suggested R re-installation (which apparently did not work for everyone)?
I'm on Mac 10.11.6 and when trying to install ggplot2 either from within or outside of R (R CMD INSTALL) I get segfault:
*** caught segfault ***
address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped'
The same can be reproduced using ggplot2 versions:
1.0.0, 1.0.1, 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0
I tested that on fresh R-3.3.2 session. The error occurs during installation, not during loading.
