Good.

Oh well. I don't have that platform --- and it requires a fair amount of
tweaking and getting the pieces right because, hey, that's how Apple rolls.

If you can't get that sorted out with all the hints by Simon, the r-sig-mac
list and other OS X users here (as it seems to work fine for some) --- then I
would suggest to punt and install something like Ubuntu in a virtual
machine.

|     I may have asked this before, but what R version so you use?
|

| 
|     (where the code line was wrapped.  Here, this works as expected and ends in
