Then your installation is broken. You should re-install R to fix your  
installation.

In R 2.8.1:
fino:~$ file /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources: directory

This is true for all R installations from CRAN as well as all custom  
installations with framework enabled (default on OS X).
