  1. Install Growl and leave the disk image open.
  2. Open Terminal.
  3. Run “cd /Volumes/Growl-1.2/Extras/growlnotify”
  4. Run “./install.sh”

Then follow these directions to get your R script to talk to Growl by adding something like:
system(paste("growlnotify -a R -t \"R is done\" -m", "\"Inserted the data\"", sep=""))

Here is how I did it:
1. cd to /etc
2. Edit the file ‘profile’
3. Append the path you want to the end of the /usr/local … line.
