I'll have to guess now, because I don't know much about Macs or Java.  I
assume there is something wrong with your java installation.  You can
check by writing the following in a terminal:

  java -version

If the output of this isn't something sensible, then you probably need
to (re-)install Java.

Otherwise there is some information here (Point 3. "Configure Java for
R"):

If that doesn't help (and probably even if it does) you should consider
joining the RDS Users Group, if you haven't already:
