Please copy your messages to the r-sig-mac list.

I am afraid that 'it did not work' provides no information useful for  
troubleshooting!

Please explain how it fails.  What did you try to do?  Have you tried  
invoking the command 'R' in a Terminal window?  If that works, then  
the problem is with the GUI, and if that is crashing there should be  
entries in the crash logs (see Apple's troubleshooting procedures)
