[R] Package Installer Fails in OSX 10.5 Leopard

[JimBarritt]

oops i see i was missing the "packages" directory which is in the DMG...

everything installs fine from there.

incidentally i was recieving a message something like "this package is
already installed" sometimes from the main installer.

cheers

Jim
