I tried to install an R package through the Package Installer in the R.app, but the program becomes unresponsive. I have been able to install packages through it before. I haven't tried installing packages another way because I don't know how to yet. I have attached r-crash-100216.txt (171 kB), the crash report it generated when i forced R.app to quit.

That is not a crash -- it simply using HTTP i.e. your internet connections is probably very slow. Try using different mirror or just wait since it takes long to download the package(s). The control is returned from R to the GUI only when it's finished downloading, so it won't do anything until the download is complete. Cheers, Simon
