The errors reported there were of a different nature, primarily
related to us long ago not having installed the suggested packages in
R.

Does this happen every time you start Sage? That is odd.

Unfortunately, we still have some hard links that are created during
installation of the R package. These are incredibly tricky to track
down. Presumably you have no directories like the ones in
'/Users/buildbot/build/sage/bsd-1/bsd_64_binary/build/sage-4.7/local/
lib/R/doc/html/packages.html'
There are several open tickets to fix this sort of thing, but no one
has been working on them lately - presumably due to not understanding
enough about the issues. Others may have some comments.
The workaround for you is pretty simple, though it will take a few
hours of sleep for it to happen.
1) Download the *source* to Sage, e.g. at
http://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html
2) Follow the instructions to build Sage from source. It consists of
going into a certain directory in Terminal and typing "make".
3) Wait a few hours.
4) Now try to install your package!
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8274 is probably where this
should get fixed. I'll put something about this there.
Good luck! I use R optional packages all the time, so I hope it
should work for you if you build from source.
