FYI - no problem on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, with R 3.6.1 64-bit.

On Win7, retried after installing meld 3.18.3 (removed 3.20.0 first). That is not the issue. Got same error.

OK, problem tracked to the processx package.

After doing a:

> install.package("processx")

which got version 3.4.0, now everything works on Win7

Glad it worked. Thanks for the feedback
