[R-SIG-Mac] R-devel, python, and rpy

[Adam Naples]

Hi, I managed to get it working, although I think I may have used some  
hideous hack.
I made an alias (using the finder) to libR.dylib from the  
/library/frameworks/r.framework/ and replaced the one in /usr/local/lib
this managed to change my error messages to the following
	
			Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
       				  unable to load shared library  
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.0/Resources/library/ 
stats/libs/stats.so":
				  dlcompat: dyld: python truncated or malformed library:  
/usr/local/lib/libR.dylib (file is empty)
			Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
  			      	  unable to load shared library  
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.0/Resources/library/ 
methods/libs/methods.so":
				  dlcompat: dyld: python truncated or malformed library:  
/usr/local/lib/libR.dylib (file is empty)
			In addition: Warning message:
			package stats in options("defaultPackages") was not found

Then I just copied the entire libR.dylib file from the R.framework/lib  
directory to /usr/local/lib
now, it seems to work flawlessly. Although I am worried that I may have  
done something terrible.

This helped me out, maybe some other new users will find it helpful.
thanks
