[R-SIG-Mac] How can I use R 1.9.1 on a Ibook G3?

[Byron Ellis]

I would guess that R 1.9.1 was built with a 10.3 deployment target 
while 1.9.0 was built with a 10.2 deployment target. Though it is 
strange that it didn't ask for the admin password---so maybe just the 
installer is borked. Our remaining 10.2 user is unfortunately away for 
the long weekend so I can't bug him about doing an install. I'm going 
to be installing R on a fresh 10.3 today so I can at least check for 
the bad installer, but not a 10.3 deployment target.
