Alexandra,
What version of RStudio are you using? I think we've fixed this problem in our latest version on the website (v0.95.262). Let me know what version you are using and if the latest works.

I have the same problem here. Only I downloaded and installed the recommended version, but still it doesn't run and show 'fatal error, path error'. Which do you think causes the problem? Maybe the firwall? Because I could run it at uni earlier. Thanks.

Jo,
Can you check your log files and upload anything that you find.

Also check out the following Knowledge Base article and let me know if any of these fix it:

If not, can you post the output from the following at an R console in addition to the logs:

I am having the same issues. I upgraded RStudio as prompted then when the new version 0.95.263 was run I could see the menu screen for a second and then this disappeared. I thought it was due to running an old version of R so I've installed the lasted version:
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=English_United Kingdom.1252
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
RStudio still only runs for 1 second then disappears.
The last entry in the log file is:
20 Mar 2012 11:21:31 [rsession-Matthew T Bishop] WARNING ASSERTION FAILED: std::find(result.begin(), result.end(), charT(0)) == result.end(); LOGGED FROM: std::basic_string<_CharT, std::char_traits, std::allocator > boost::re_detail::cpp_regex_traits_implementation::transform(const charT, const charT) const [with charT = wchar_t] C:\Users\Administrator\rstudio\dependencies\windows\boost-win\boost32\include\boost-1_44/boost/regex/v4/cpp_regex_traits.hpp:595
Help please, thanks.

Matt,
Unfortunately we do not yet completely understand what is going wrong here. We know it has something to do with locales and paths that can't be expressed in the system encoding. We don't have a fix for this yet, but can update this thread when we have more information. For now, it is probably best to revert back to RStudio v0.94 which I've provided download links below if you need:

Mac: https://s3.amazonaws.com/rstudio-dailybuilds/RStudio-0.94.110.dmg

R Studio v0.94 was installed successfully.
Thanks a lot, Josh

Version 0.94 is up and running for me too.
Thanks

Glad that 0.94 is working as a temporary solution. We'll update this discussion once we know more.
Thanks,
Josh
