R BATCH does not work: BATCH: line 60: 30867 Illegal instruction ${R_HOME}/bin/R -f ${in} ${opts}

[barracuda156]

Example:

* checking tests ...
  Running ‘spelling.R’
  Running ‘testthat.R’/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/BATCH: line 60: 30867 Illegal instruction     ${R_HOME}/bin/R -f ${in} ${opts} ${R_BATCH_OPTIONS} > ${out} 2>&1

 ERROR
Running the tests in ‘tests/testthat.R’ failed.
Complete output:
  > library(testthat)
  > library(usethis)
  > 
  > test_check("usethis")

(I had another identical case with another package, but cannot remember which one now.)

Any idea what goes wrong?

With another port, R-milr, tests simply freeze due to this issue. Control+C interrupts the freeze, and then the log has this BATCH error.

Another instance with R-rhdf5filters:

* checking tests ...
  Running ‘testthat.R’/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/BATCH: line 60: 63007 Abort trap              ${R_HOME}/bin/R -f ${in} ${opts} ${R_BATCH_OPTIONS} > ${out} 2>&1

Looks like another case of broken R BATCH: ​https://github.com/stla/kantorovich/issues/1#issuecomment-1688911204

It is in fact broken overall in Macports, it seems; just got this on Sonoma:

Does anyone know how to fix it?
