R help - Nov 2014 - R 2.14.2 installation on mac OS X yosemite

Hi, 

I noticed your email on the R support page. I am currently using SPSS 21 for
mac, and need to install a macro plug-in which requires me o install R 2.14 (I
already have R 3.0). When i download the R 2.14 package from the CRAN website,
and try to install it on my Macintosh HD, it gives me an error message : ? R
2.14.2 for Mac OS X 10.5 or higher (Leopard build) can?t be installed on this
disk. Leopard build of R requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher. Use Tiger build
(available from CRAN) for older systems.?

I dont understand this, since I have OS X Yosemite on my mac. I tried installing
2.14.0, but got the exact same error message.

Would appreciate your help greatly.

Such old versions of R are not supported, particularly not on more 
recent OS.
If you need help, ask the company for support that tells you to install 
an obsolete version of R.
