Here is a follow up on my initial problem.
After rebooting my machine I have had no problems with R2.9.0 and here
is the relevant information on my system taken from uname -a
Darwin Kernel Version 9.7.0: Tue Mar 31 22:52:17 PDT 2009;
root:xnu-1228.12.14~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
So I am not sure what happened right after I upgraded R, but it seems
to be fine now.
Cheers,
Dave

I've seen no R issues at all with 10.5.7, using the CRAN binary or
my own builds.

Dear R-Mac-users,
a couple of weeks ago a message appeared in this list which
mentioned a potential problem with R 2.9.0 and the recent 10.5.7
OS update. Since I would like to update my OSX, I was wondering if
someone else had any problems.
Thanks,
Luca
That post was here:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2009-May/006181.html
and there were no replies that I see. I don't know if Dave got an
offlist reply or is still having the issue. I am copying Dave here
to solicit his comments on any follow up activity he might be able
to offer. The only thing that jumps out at me from his post is the
Version indicated for R.app, which shows:
R 2.9.0 GUI 1.28 Tiger build 32-bit (5395)
which may raise the issue of Tiger versus Leopard builds being used
and that may or may not be relevant.
The standard CRAN build is for 'tiger or leopard'. It reports as
[R.app GUI 1.28 (5395) i386-apple-darwin8.11.1]
on the (console) command line and as quoted above in 'About R'.
I am on 10.5.7 and although I build R from source, I have not had
any problems since the OS update. I am running:
R version 2.9.0 Patched (2009-05-25 r48609)
I can also run R.app, albeit I don't use it routinely:
[R.app GUI 1.28 (5413) i386-apple-darwin9.7.0]
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
