No further messages here? E.g. something like
* Installing *source* package 'Hmisc' ...
** libs
?


Have you installed other packages with/without success before?

What happens when trying to install from the command line using
   R CMD INSTALL
?

You can look at the console log (eg start Console.app in 
/Applications/Utilities) to see what the problem is, but the fact that 
Hmisc is not available as a binary package probably means that it does not 
compile for the Mac (at least without some modification)
