[R-SIG-Mac] R 2.9.0 on Leopard 10.5.7 problems?

[Dave Adelson]

Here is a follow up on my initial problem.

After rebooting my machine I have had no problems with R2.9.0 and here  
is the relevant information on my system taken from uname -a

Darwin Kernel Version 9.7.0: Tue Mar 31 22:52:17 PDT 2009;  
root:xnu-1228.12.14~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

So I am not sure what happened right after I upgraded R, but it seems  
to be fine now.

Cheers,

Dave
