[R-sig-Geo] Failure to install spgrass6

[Scott W Mitchell]

Did you try adding type="source" to the install.packages command?  I  
don't know why not having it would lead to a segfault, but I still  
would have thought you'd need it to avoid it trying to find a binary  
package for the Mac (at least, that's my experience on my G5).
