[BioC] XML and Mac OS X

[jtleek at u.washington.edu]

Hello...
I have been trying to get the XML and MAGEML packages from Bioconductor to run on Mac OS X. When I use the call getBioC("analyses"), when it comes to the XML package I get the following output. 


[1] "Installing XML"

** Removing '/Applications/StartR.app/RAqua.app/Contents/library/XML'
Warning message: 
Installation of package XML had non-zero exit status in: installPkg(fileName, pkg, pkgVer, type, lib, repEntry, versForce) 

Does anyone know what I need to do to get xml2-config set up? Or is that really the problem? Thank you very much for your help.
