    I do not see any problem so far. I get a similar message when I install pkg:BSDA from that CRAN repository (although I did not get the message about not setting a default locale.). That message “packages are in
    /var/folders/xS/xSUsVXT…” is generally a sign of success. My guess is that you are a new user and have not yet understood that in addition to installing packages in the Library, which is a durable event, that you also need to load them into your workspace, which is a temporary event, only persisting as long as your session. Try this:

    library(BSDA)

    If Dirk is correct and that local message is a sign of failure, then in the past some people have reported success with this procedure (to be done in a Terminal session) taken from the Mac-R-FAQ:

    defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
