Dear R-Help Group:

R will not start on my imac running 10.6.2.  I installed both R2.10.1 and
2.10.0 from pkg. It crashed on both. I tried both the R and R64 apps and
both versions 2.10.1 and 2.10.0.  I googled and found nothing on this.

Below is part of report:

If I delete my Rprofile, R will sometimes run but hangs and goes
non-responsive when I type only one letter of a command.

cat .Rprofile
 # Example of .Rprofile
     .First <- function() {
        library(bayesm)
          library(tcltk)
        cat(" tcltk,bayesm loaded \n\n")
    }
       source("my_R_functions.R")
      cat(" custom functions loaded \n")
     .Last <- function()  cat("\n   Goodbye!\n\n")


I have fully updated by mac os.

Any help would be most appreciated.
