I'm trying to install GNU's R.
The install of r-base went fine, but when I tried to follow the
instructions for installation fo the GUI;
R.app no longer included in the R source distribution. To install, go
to http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/, download and install R-
GUI.dmg.
You will then need to edit Info.plist inside the app bundle to point
to /sw/Library/R.Framework (instead of /Library/R.Framework).

The installer refused to allow me to install the GUI.
"You cannot install R GUI for Mac OS X on this volume. Requires Mac OS
X 10.4.4 or higher."
I should point out that the installer contains 4 packages.
"gfortran.pkg", "R-Framework.pkg", "R-GUI.pkg", and "tcltk.pkg". Since
the others are already installed via Fink, I only tried to install R-
GUI.
The fix was to edit the Info.plist in the bundle for R-GUI.dmg
*before* installing. I'd like to suggest a change to the
documentation. Perhaps something like the below.
R.app no longer included in the R source distribution. To install, go
to http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/, and download, move a copy of
"R-GUI.dmg" to your desktop, and edit Info.plist inside the "R-GUI.dmg"
bundle to point to /sw/Library/R.Framework (instead of /Library/
R.Framework).
Once R-GUI knows where the Framework resides, you can install.
