Greetings,
I've just installed R-2.6.1 from the
R for Mac OS X site
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/
R-2.6.1.dmg
When I attempt to update bioconductor packages
R crashes on attempting to install
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.1/bioc/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.6/oligo_1.2.2.tgz
Is anyone else having this problem?
Is this an issue with Mac OS X R, or
with the oligo mac binary?
Any opinions/advice would be appreciated.
I can reproduce this running R.app (see output
from R.app that I posted to Bioconductor at
end of this email) and also running R from
the command line in a Mac 'terminal' shell
as follows:

Subject: update.packages() for bioconductor packages generates bus error in R.app for R-2.6.1 on Mac OS X
Greetings,
I just installed the latest Mac upgrade version of R
R-2.6.1
When I attempt to update bioconductor packages,
R catches a bus to crashville.
I'm using the recommended approach from
http://www.bioconductor.org/docs/install-howto.html
i.e.
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
update.packages(repos=biocinstallRepos(), ask=FALSE)
Session info and error report are below. I'm not
seeing this issue in R news groups yet. Anyone
else having this problem?
