[R-SIG-Mac] Problems when R quits

[Simon Urbanek]

Kate,

as the message tells you this has nothing to do with the R  
installation, but with your .Last function in your workspace. Simply  
remote the offending .Last with
rm(.Last)
and everything should be fine. As the help page warns, .Last should  
be well-written, otherwise expect trouble ;).

Cheers,
Simon
