  I'm not sure of the answer, but there has been a lot of discussion
of similar issues (showing up as problems loading libRblas.dylib) on
the R-sig-mac [r-sig-mac at r-project.org] mailing list.  I would search
through the archives there and then ask on that list if you can't find
a suitable answer.
