Whoever is working on fixing this has my deep thanks.

Speaking for many, I presume, I hope someone posts something somewhere soon
that truly enables "the rest of us" to install R+JGR under OS 10.6 with
Mac-like simplicity and robustness. I'm now glad that I have not yet
upgraded, but one of my students has, and so he has spent hours by himself
and involving others trying to get things going, so far unsuccessfully. This
was after I assured all the Mac users in my class that installing R and JGR
was easy, and they should have no problems figuring it out.

My Windows students and colleagues, including our systems manager, are
probably having many good chuckles over this. My Vista students had some
with JGR, but they figured it out.

Thanks again.
