The receipts are now superseded in Leopard by an internal database  
which is controlled by pkgutil, so you have to use pkgutil --forget  
instead.

That is the GUI for 2.10.0 (R-devel) so it wont work with your freshly  
installed 2.9.0. You should use the installed GUI in Applications that  
came with the R 2.9.0 beta.

I suspect this means that your R 2.8.x was upgraded to R 2.9.x so the  
R library is no longer present.

Yes, that was the version before RC. The RC now has -24.

Well, I would recommend you to install the beta first and try it  
(without replacing things etc.). You can always re-install R 2.8.1  
(the mini will do) to get back to your previous state (upgrades don't  
remove additionally installed packages).

Thanks,
Simon
