[R] RSPYTHON install failed on Mac

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Without seeing config.log, we have no more idea than you do.

This is an Omegahat package, and either its list or the R-sig-mac list 
would be far more appropriate than this one.  But I suspect the answer is 
clear from config.log -- unpack the package before installing to see it.
