I found a work-around.
I re-installed everything from scratch, with MacOS X binaries

today from CRAN for R-2.8.0.dmg and for all the libraries I need.
Same problem: some of the libraries (chron, Cairo, Design, Hmisc)
expect to
find libR.dylib in a directory called
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/lib/
I have not done any hard-coding of anything myself, so I assume the
hard-coded path must be in the libraries themselves somehow.
Yes, you have the wrong binaries!! You have binaries for R 2.7 but you
need binaries for R 2.8.
I can only repeat that over and over again. Get binaries for R 2.8.0!
They are in
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.8/
(replace the host with your mirror if you wish, but make sure there is
2.8 in the URL!)
The most reliable way is to use install.packages to fetch them, but if
you have to fetch them manually, make sure you get the right ones!
The work-around: I created that directory structure by hand, and
linked
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Libraries/libR.dylib into it. Now
things
seem to be working.
Do NOT do that! R 2.7 and R 2.8 are NOT binary compatible. Most
symbols will be fine, but some won't. You simply have the wrong
binaries - again 2.7 binaries are NOT meant to be used with R 2.8.0.
Cheers,
Simon

Reason: image not found

Where can I find libR.dylib? Or is there another way around this?
You are likely trying to load a R 2.7.x package in R 2.8.0. Look at
the paths above. Make sure you have removed packages from previous R
versions and/or you are not using hard-coded paths to user libraries.
Also I would strongly recommend using CRAN builds of packages
especially with packages with library dependencies like Cairo.

I am running MacOS X 10.4.11. I checked the md5 hash for R-2.8.0.dmg
after
downloading it, and the value was correct.
