[R-SIG-Mac] R.app crashing

[Prof Brian Ripley]

That log says

   Library not loaded: 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/lib/libR.dylib

'3.1' means R-devel, not 3.0.0 and not R-patched.

I can confirm this from today's R-patched: it looks like the wrong 
version of R.app got bundled:

tystie% otool -L /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R
/Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R:
	/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/Resources/lib/libR.dylib 
(compatibility version 3.1.0, current version 3.1.0)


However, reverting to 3.0.0 should work.  One issue (and did we not see 
a report from you about it?) is that the installer does not necessarily 
replace the copy of R.app in /Applications if it finds another one. 
(That has happened to me when the one I last used was a personal build.) 
  So I would remove all copies of R.app from your system and re-install 
3.0.0.
