I installed R through homebrew:

R version 2.12.2 (2011-02-25)
Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
ISBN 3-900051-07-0
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.5.0 (64-bit)

When i try to run RStudio, I get:

"Please make sure a compatible version of R is installed"

Not seeing anything anything in the rstudio log.. Any ideas?

   I'm experiencing the same.

   I was able to figure it out. From the documentation:

   "The current default version is determined by the directory alias found at /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/Current"

   So all you need to do is:
   cd /Library/Frameworks
   ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/r/2.12.1/R.framework R.framework

   Once you've symlinked the framework, you won't get the dialog anymore.
