[R-SIG-Mac] similar problems installing Rcmdr with R.

[Hebblewhite, Mark]

Yes, the solution proposed by Rodney Sparapani below worked to fix my
problem, but was a slightly different command than proposed to Sarah
earlier. 


Thanks very much Rodney! It will be challenging to fix this problem,
however, for other 'naïve' users of MAC if the solution is different each
time. 

Thanks very much John, Simon and Rodney!

Hi Mark:

I am assuming you came to Mac from Windows, rather than UNIX/Linux,
right?  On Mac OS X (and UNIX/Linux in general), you need to have
permission to read/write/execute files.  But, I think you can fix
this rather easily.  In a terminal...
% sudo zsh
# chmod -R 755 /usr/local
