Step 1 - check whether R runs at all. Start Terminal and type
R
(just R, no app). Does this work?

Step 2 - remove workspace that may cause trouble
If you don't mind deleting your current workspace from your home,  
please do so - i.e. type the following in Terminal:
rm -f .RData ~/.RData

Step 3 - run the R.app
Double-clock on the R icon in Applications. If it comes up and  
disappears again, please go to Applications -> Utilities and start  
"Console"
Depending on your settings you may already see the error message in  
the log. Otherwise look at the other log files in the left menu. If  
there is no list of logs on the left hand side, click on the "Logs"  
icon in the toolbar. The crash logs are usually in ~/Library/Logs ->  
CrashReporter and then R.app

Please let us know whether you were able to fix the problem or supply  
us with any errors you find in the logs.

Cheers,
Simon
