[R] Package arm

[Erica Donnelly-Swift]

I am having difficulty installing the arm package and would be  
grateful if anyone could give some advice.

I have updated my computer to a Mac OS X version 10.5.5 ( processor: 2  
x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) and I have downloaded R version 2.8.0
I have downloaded the package arm, but when i try to install it, the  
following message is given in R:

Loading required package: MASS
Loading required package: Matrix
Loading required package: lattice

  *** caught bus error ***
address 0xc, cause 'non-existent physical address'

Traceback:
  1: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
  2: library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib)
  3: loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source =  
keep.source)
  4: doTryCatch(return(expr), name, parentenv, handler)
  5: tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1]])
  6: tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers)
  7: tryCatch(expr, error = function(e) {    call <-  
conditionCall(e)    if (!is.null(call)) {        if  
(identical(call[[1]], quote(doTryCatch)))             call <-  
sys.call(-4)        dcall <- deparse(call)[1]        prefix <-  
paste("Error in", dcall, ": ")        LONG <- 75        msg <-  
conditionMessage(e)        sm <- strsplit(msg, "\n")[[1]]        if  
(14 + nchar(dcall, type = "w") + nchar(sm[1], type = "w")  
 >             LONG)             prefix <- paste(prefix, "\n  ", sep =  
"")    }    else prefix <- "Error : "    msg <- paste(prefix,  
conditionMessage(e), "\n", sep =  
"")    .Internal(seterrmessage(msg[1]))    if (!silent &&  
identical(getOption("show.error.messages"),         TRUE))  
{        cat(msg, file =  
stderr())        .Internal(printDeferredWarnings())    }     
invisible(structure(msg, class = "try-error"))})
  8: try({    ns <- loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc),  
keep.source = keep.source)    dataPath <- file.path(which.lib.loc,  
package, "data")    env <- attachNamespace(ns, pos = pos, dataPath =  
dataPath)})
  9: library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE,  
lib.loc = lib.loc)
10: .getRequiredPackages2(pkgInfo)
11: library(arm)

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
