[R-SIG-Mac] latest two builts refuse to launch

[William Revelle]

Simon and Denis,

Trying to be a good netizin I too tried the Mac nightly build of 
R.app  from Simon's page.  This is the R-GUI.dmg file that a few days 
ago worked beautifully. (Thank you for the nice additions).

However, when launching the program from the finder (not Terminal), I 
got the error -10810 reported by Denis.

I am running Mac OSX 10.3.8

I just tried downloading it again, with the same problem.

Simon says that "R is supposed to be run in Terminal or other 
shell-like environment" but in fact the daily build of late last week 
was double clickable from the Finder, leading me to believe that it 
was meant to behave that way.

I am running R 2.0.1 with Mac Gui 1.01.  It was the attempt at Mac 
Gui 1.0.2 pre experimental build 1393 that is causing the problem.

Thanks for all the good work.

Bill
