The problem code is patched below. I use MacPorts' "R", which does not match the "/Lib.*" regexp. Instead, it should match "/opt/local/ lib/R/bin/exec/R". Any other patch should work as well.
your're the first who installed R in a different location. But I agree, I'll try to make it universal for all locations.
Yes, I've never seen that before either. Being an R user myself, I'd be interested to hear your reasons for installing R from MacPorts, which is almost guaranteed to be inferior to the official binary distribution (and less easy to install).
I haven't tried MacPort's R myself, but I suspect that it's just a slightly adapted Unix build, whereas the R Core Team puts a lot of effort into compiling R for Mac OS X with the right tools and settings to get optimal performance and reliable operation on all current OS X platforms.
Just curious, Stefan
