As this is Mac specific, it should really be posted to R-SIG-Mac:

That being said, Peter has a post here that touches on this issue:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help//2014-November/423169.html

which also raises the issue of why SPSS is requiring such an old version of R.

As to how to accomplish what Peter references, a Google search is likely to be enlightening.
