[R] cannot install R-2.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.9 PowerPC G5

[shelley]

Hi Roy:

Thank you for your quick response! I checked the softlink and I did  
see: /usr/local/ -> /private/var/automount/usr/local

 From the post I read: "I'm not quite sure what to do with this".  
What does it mean? It means there is no way to install the Tcl/Tk  
libraries on my powerPCs? I want to use it.

-Shelley
