R is broken with "dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libpcre.1.dylib"

I'm trying to follow Brew doctor: dyld: Library not loaded & Error: No available formula for zlib but it isn't helping. I had my R working earlier today but I installed r-essentials through conda (how my R was installed originally) and am now getting the following error:

$ which R
/Users/jespinoz/anaconda/bin/R

$ /Users/jespinoz/anaconda/bin/R
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libpcre.1.dylib

  Reason: image not found

Solution

  • I ended up deleting my entire anaconda directory and reinstalling :(

    In hindsight, I realized that I needed to make a shellscript just incase anything weird happened and I needed to reinstall everything again. Everytime I install a new module that I think will be useful I just add it to here.

    Here's all my Python and R packages:
