[R-SIG-Mac] lme4 fails to load in R GUI 2.8.0

[Christopher David Desjardins]

R in Terminal, R in Aquamacs, and R in R.app GUI all point to the same  
location as specified by .libPaths() that is

 > .libPaths()
[1] "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library"

They all give this location when I run .libPaths()

I am sure I'm missing something, I appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Chris
