First the technical details: I'm running Mac OS 10.4.5, R 2.2.0, and just downloaded Ghostscript 8.50 to my Applications folder. My problem is this: after adding ## Ghostscript R_GSCMD=${RGSCMD='/usr/bin/gs'} to my Renviron file, as suggested in several posts on this problem contained in the archives, I still get Error in bitmap("acaldi.bmp", res = 100) : sorry, 'gs' cannot be found /bin/sh: line 1: gs: command not found in response to the bitmap(acaldi.bmp, res=100) command. Any hints on what I'm doing wrong? I'm a relative ignoramus on programming languages, so I really don't know where to begin fixing this problem. Thanks.
