Hi,

I directed somebody to install R (2.6.1) on his OSX computer,
following instructions from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx.
She used the provided binary image.
She can run R from the console.

The problem is that Rscript is not in the path (only minor, because ln -s is 
hopefully doable). 
But the script failed when I tried to put a hardcoded path to Rscript into the 
shebang line. And when I try to invoke it directly:

-bash: ./Rscript: cannot execute binary file

On linux this works:

Rscript

Usage: /path/to/Rscript [--options] [-e expr] file [args]

--options accepted are
....


I would like to send her some Rscripts, but how can we make them
run on her system?


thank you very much,
ido
