R devel - Jul 2009 - Any workaround for CRAN Mac OS X compiler switch to R 2.10.0?

Hello,

Has the CRAN compiler for Mac OS X switched to using R 2.10? I  
recently uploaded an update for the package I maintain to CRAN, and  
it's no longer possible to run the package after installing CRAN  
binaries for this package under Mac OS X 10.5 and R 2.9.1.

The package is picante 0.7-1. It passes all checks on CRAN cleanly.  
Under R 2.9.1 on Mac OS X 10.5, the package can be installed from CRAN  
binaries, but fails to load (see example output at end of this  
message). This can be worked around by installing from source.

The error seems to be related to looking for and not finding the file  
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.10/Resources/lib/ 
libR.dylib" when installed from binaries.

Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there some workaround?

Thanks,
Steve

This has been discussed on the R-sig-mac email list. The short answer  
is that something bad happened (bad = R-devel was used to compile CRAN  
packages) and Simon (who is maintaining this) was traveling. He is  
working on the problem now. A fix should happen "soon".
