[R-SIG-Mac] Mac Automator and Rscript

[Greg Minshall]

John,

what does "which Rscript" say?  what about "which R"?  if the former
says "/usr/bin/Rscript", and the latter "/sw/bin/R" (or maybe something
like "/usr/local/bin/R"), then you are running the wrong Rscript.

the *specific* reason for the error message is that Rscript is starting
up R, and R is looking for, and failing to find, the package Defaults.
(possibly you have code in your ~/.Rprofile that attempts to use
Defaults.)

hope that helps.  (in the case of /sw/bin/R, i'm not sure why Fink isn't
installing Rscript.)

cheers, Greg Minshall
