Something is wrong with your system software. On my Leopard box:
tystie% otool -L
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/modules/i386/R_X11.so
...
/usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 42.0.0,
current version 42.0.0)
So your /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib is different from mine (and from
the CRAN build machine's).
Your choices are
- to resolve this (and it is not an R issue). I'd start by running the
software updater ....
- to build R from the sources against the software on your machine.
