R help - Dec 2003 - Failed installation on Mac OSX 10.3 (PR#5697)

I've installed R 1.8.1 on OSX 10.3 (Panther) using the RAqua.pkg and 
all indications were that the installation was successful.  However, 
after double clicking the R icon in the Applications folder, nothing 
appears to happen.  The following message appears on the console:

Mac OS X Version 10.3 (Build 7B85)
2003-12-11 08:45:31 -0500
prefs written
dyld: /Applications/StartR.app/RAqua.app/Contents/MacOS/RAqua can't 
open library: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.4.3.dylib  (No such file or 
directory, errno = 2)


When I check /usr/local/ there is no 'lib' folder, only the
'bin'
folder.  I checked the FAQ's and the bug reports and this problem was 
reported by at least one other person (bug report id 5529) but no 
solution has been put forward that I could find.

Do the other packages that come with the download (e.g., 
j_libreadlne.pkg, j_tcltk.pkg, j_libxml2.pkg) need to be installed? 
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for your help,
Brian

You should read the readme.txt file which says that you have to install 
the libreadline with the provided .pkg archive that comes with 
RAqua.dmg.
