R 2.3.0 OS X Binary

I posted this at the R Help list, but thought it might be more  
relevant here.

I downloaded the 2.3.0 OS X Universal binary off of the Berkeley  
mirror (found it on the R for Mac OS X link at the bottom of the  
page).  Installation went fine, but when I launch via the GUI it  
opens the console window and then (after several seconds) quits  
with no error message.

I'm using a G4 Powerbook (PowerPC) laptop with OS X 10.4.6.  A    
universal binary ought to work, right?

I'm sorry I'm not very proficient with the Terminal, so I don't  
know if I can use R 2.3.0 with that, or if it's only the GUI  
startup that's causing the problem.

going on?

I tried last evening on my PPC powerbook with OS 10.4.6, and the GUI did 
nothing, i.e. it did not crash in 20 minutes or more, but I did not use 
the GUI, I just let it run stay to see if it would crash.
