R path not working

[postylem]

Hi, I'm looking forward to using this extension, but unfortunately I am having trouble getting a simple test case to work. Everything I've tried so far gets the following error when I run the debugger:

Popup window saying:

R path not working: /usr/local/bin/R (Can be changed in setting r.rpath.XXX)

The debug console displays:

R not responding within 2000ms!
R path:
/usr/local/bin/R
If R is installed but in a different path, please adjust the setting r.rpath.windows/mac/linux.
If R might take more than 2000ms to launch, try increasing the setting r.debugger.timeouts.startup!

That (default) path /usr/local/bin/R is correct (it's what I see when I run which R at the command line). I tried putting it in explicitly, and also putting in the executable to which it points, but I still get that error.

I increased the startup timeout 10x to 20000ms to no avail.

I followed the instructions on the troubleshooting page, making an empty test directory, with a simple hello world R script to debug.

I disabled my .Rprofile with "commandLineArgs": ["--vanilla"] in the Debug R-File config, but that didn't change anything.

Here is the R Debugger log output, if that might be helpful:

Is there something else that I should have tried? I'm out of ideas. :)
