[R] Incorrect libxml2.2.dylib version on Tiger install

[Brian Beckage]

I encountered a similar problem after installing the new version of R 
(2.1.0) on my Mac OSX 10.3.8--I have not updated to Tiger.  The error 
message I get is below.  As Steven reported, I do not get this error 
when running R from within the Aqua GUI, but only at the command line 
(which is unfortunately how I use R).  Is the solution to install the 
newer version of Xcode (2.0) as suggested in earlier emails?

Thanks,
Brian
