Dear Simon,

It's not proofed against this fool. So I

1. install R 2.9.0 package (but choose to NOT install gfortran)
2. Launch R64.app and see

I now wonder how I'm going to get to 2.9.2.

I successfully ran

I download download 64-bit JGR launcher from http://urbanek.info/JGR-1.6-SL.dmg 
.
When launched it starts up, and then crashes.

So:
(1) How do I get 2.9.2 for Snow Leopard?
(2) How do I get JGR to run?

B/c I didn't know what to do next, I then downloaded R-2.9.2.dmg from  
CRAN. When I launched R64.app, it failed. But with R.app, it worked.
On 2,9,2 I successfully ran
> > install.packages(c("rJava","JavaGD","iplots"))
> > install.packages("JGR",type="mac.binary")

The new JGR did not launch.

So I'm missing some steps or some knowledge here.
