Thanks - it's a small yet fatal bug (essentially a missing ".") that
strangely no one reported in the beta/RC stage. The easiest work-
around for now is to add
options(pkgType="mac.binary.universal")
to one of your startup scripts - e.g. just add it to
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.8/Resources/library/base/R/
Rprofile
if you are an admin, otherwise add it to your .Rprofile
The bug should not affect Leopard binaries. I shall post a fix on CRAN
soon.
Cheers,
Simon
@David, please be more precise when asking such questions - I had no
idea what you're taking about until Leonard's post.

biostatistics and also astrophysical applications. The surprising
thing is that the methods used are similar in both areas." - Bradley
