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

[Roy Mendelssohn]

Look to see if you have a link in /usr/local that links /usr/local/ib  
to  "/usr/local/lib 1".  it is that which is causing the problems.   
In the link below, Simon gives 2 commands that remove the link and  
renames the library location.  Then the install works.
