[R-SIG-Mac] Reminder: Please test the 2.9.0 beta/rc binaries!

[David Winsemius]

I downloaded the Leopard 64 bit pkg: R-2.9-beta-48309.pkg

It installed without apparent error. I want to retain version 2.8.1 so  
I checked to make sure the receipt had been deleted.

Also installed the 64 bit GUI: R-GUI-5391-2.1-leopard-Leopard64.dmg  
with produced an icon named R.app

Renamed it R_2_9 and dragged to the Applications folder. Opening it  
caused an immediate crash with this error report:

R will run as a 64 bit process from a Terminal command line.

Now when I attempt to run 2.8.1 with the old 64 bit GUI app I get an  
error:

BTW the Matrix that was installed in the library was 0.999375-23-290

My current plan is to delete r 2.9.0(beta) and attempt to get 2.8.1  
running again.
