[R-SIG-Mac] Problem with PPC packages on Intel Mac

[Simon Urbanek]

Michael,

you seem to have a wild mix of packages (old R version and wrong  
architecture). I would strongly recommend you to delete ~/Library/R/ 
library, e.g. type

rm -rf ~/Library/R/library

in Terminal and re-install packages that you use. Your custom library  
path shadows system packages, so even if you re-install them system- 
wide, you will still pick up your old packages that break. When using  
custom library path be aware that you don't have the versioning  
safety you have with system libraries (see Mac FAQ). You can change  
this in the Preferences, too.

Cheers,
Simon
