Simon,
I’m going to investigate further, but the problem is that 4.0 works fine but 4.1 doesn’t. I will check what is going wrong.

If you have issues, those are very often due to conflicting package managers (Homebrew, macoports, fink ...) so a good exercise is to simply re-name /usr/local/ and setup a clean environment as above which is known to work. If you use CRAN R builds (either release or from http://mac.r-project.org/ ) then most packages will compile with just Xcode alone.
