I meant fix permissions using Disk Utility - the usual step to take on a OS that acts funny, but I suspect you may have to re-install OS X in the end (the issue is not R-specific pretty much everything will fail on the locales as you can see from tar ...) (BTW: you don't have Xcode installed so the failed source installation is due to that which is unrelated to the locales...).
