I installed R from the R-devel-tiger-universal.tar.gz.

I had the current problem with earlier versions of R (before R-devel)  
on this machine, though never on my OS 10.3.9 laptop.

Versions/Current is showing 2.4:

[Steven-McCarrolls-G5-Tower:~] smccarro% ls -l /Library/Frameworks/ 
R.framework/Versions/
total 32
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root      admin    5 May 23 14:07 2.0 -> 2.0.1works/

lrwxrwxrwx   1 smccarro  admin    3 May 27 17:55 Current -> 2.4

It turns out that I can't load most packages:

Loading required package: grDevices
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
	unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/

Thanks in advance for your ideas,
