I really prefer to not to have to rebuild from source. > What the above says is that the Apple Installer doesn't recognize the system on the drive you are installing to as OS X 10.6.0 or higher. We don't control how the Installer determines the version, but typically it is stored in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist On 10.8.5 you should see $ cat /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>ProductBuildVersion</key> <string>12F45</string> <key>ProductCopyright</key> <string>1983-2013 Apple Inc.</string> <key>ProductName</key> <string>Mac OS X</string> <key>ProductUserVisibleVersion</key> <string>10.8.5</string> <key>ProductVersion</key> <string>10.8.5</string> </dict> </plist> If in doubt please have a look at the Installer log (enable all logs, not just errors) as you are installing R - it may possibly give some clue.
