Oops...the error was my own.

I had been typing
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R usr/local/bin/R

instead of

sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R /usr/local/bin/R

which makes all the difference in the world.

sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R /usr/local/bin/R

which gives me an error that the file /usr/local/bin/R does not exist, which of course, it doesn't as I deleted it as described above. R will start up fine if I use
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R

In addition, usr/local/bin does exist and is on the search path.


 echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/brianbeckage:/usr/X11R6/bin:.:/Users/brianbeckage/bin:/usr/local/bin


How do I correctly set up the symbolic link?

Thanks for you help,
Brian
