problem installing R for mac OS X

Matt

I am forwarding this to r-sig-mac, because I get this question a lot

-  Is the latest version the one from 
http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/builds/R ?
-- what is your Mac OS X version ?
-- what does "otool -L /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin" say
     for me it says:
         /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin:
         /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current 
version 55.0.0)
         /sw/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.1.3, current 
version 1.1.3)
         /sw/lib/libreadline.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.2.0, 
current version 4.2.0)
         /sw/lib/libdl.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current 
version 0.0.0)
         /sw/lib/libncurses.dylib.5 (compatibility version 5.0.0, current 
version 5.2.0)
-- if you do not have those dylibs, download them from 
http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/builds/dylibs.
    or (better) install them using fink.sourceforge.net
-- make sure /sw/lib is first in your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, i.e put in your 
,cshrc

if ( $?DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ) then
   setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /sw/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
   setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /sw/lib
endif

Hi there. I have a mac Dual G4, and I was excited to see your version 
of R for OSX. Unfortunately, I've had trouble installing the latest 
version. I have the files installed in the places yu suggested, but 
when i try to run R, I get the following error message:

dyld: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin version mismatch for library: 
/usr/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version of user: 1.1.3 
greater than library's version: 1.0.0)

I have tried moving around and deleting bit the 1.0.0 and 1.1.3 version 
of libZ, and noticed that the program won't work without 1.0.0 in 
place, but it still seems to have a conflict with the version numbers, 
as if it needs to find 1.1.3 but can't (even though it's in the place 
it's supposed to be).


Could you help me to straighten this out? I've been stumped so far.

Thanks,

Matt
