mountain lion install, error message

Hi, I have been trying to install R on my mac which is running mountain lion. It is partially working, but one error message I am getting is: 

Error in function ()  : object '.activeModel' not found. 

I cannot find anything on this by googling. It appears, for example, when I try to 'add observation statistics to data' under the 'models' menu in R commander.

I wondered if anyone might have any idea what this could mean, and how I might try and fix my installation. I have installed the various recommended additional packages, and uninstalled and re-installed R around 5 times now. I have had exactly the same performance after each installation. I'm rather at a loss at where to turn next to get things working properly. 

Thanks. 

Claire.

Perhaps you would benefit from joining R-sig-mac, and/or perusing their archives.

Dear Claire,

This error is due to a bug in the previous version of the Rcmdr package; it
is fixed in the current version on CRAN, version 1.9-4. Simply reinstall the
Rcmdr package from CRAN and verify that you have the correct version.

I hope this helps,
 John

Dear Jeff,

As I just explained to Claire, this error is caused by a bug in an earlier
version of the Rcmdr package; the bug affects the Rcmdr on all platforms,
not just Mac OS X, and is fixed in the current version 1.9-4 of the Rcmdr on
CRAN.

Best,
 John
