I just built bioconductor with 'biocLite.R' and upgraded it on my  
system running R 2.6.1 over Mac OS 10.5, Leopard, on 64-bit powerpc  
based chips.  Upon trying to load Biobase it gives me an error  
implying it was built for a different architecture or kernel as noted  
below in its output.  Searching for this problem on the web,  
bioconductor.org, or r-project.org turned up anything similar.  This  
occurred with building a few python modules too, but they were  
documented, though vaguely, on the web.  Has anyone else come up with  
this problem or is it an isolated problem?
