You've helped me get R up and running again, with R 2.9.0 GUI Leopard  
build 64-bit and R version 2.9.2 Patched (2009-09-05 r49613) x86_64- 
apple-darwin9.8.0

I again ran install.packages(c("rJava","JavaGD","iplots")) and  
install.packages("JGR",type="mac.binary").

Then I downloaded http://urbanek.info/JGR-1.6-SL.dmg and installed it.  
It, however, failed to run. The splash creen starts, and the familiar  
JGR window appears, but then it fails. The console says:
