[R-SIG-Mac] FW: Rcmdr 1.7.2 on Mac

Fri Nov 11 00:38:54 CET 2011

Dear Simon,

I was hoping that you'd pick this up -- thanks.

Here's an entire session, including installing the package, trying to load it (showing the error), and the session info. As I said, when I install from source (also from CRAN), there's no problem.

Best,
 John
