[R-SIG-Mac] Error: package 'RODBC' was built for universal-apple-darwin8.6.1

[Ivan Alves]

I  experienced a similar problem:

compiled R from source using instructions from http:// 
wiki.urbanek.info/index.cgi?IntelMacR
installed RODBC from source via install.packages() [using the R GUI]  
- got the error about the versioning of Darwin
installed RODBC from binary - got a similar (but different version  
incompatibility) error about versioning
installed from Terminal, using "R CMD INSTALL RODBC_1.1-7.tar.gz" -  
it finally worked

Maybe some gurus can tell us why install.packages and RCMD INSTALL  
result in different versions being compiled?

Hope this is useful
