[R-SIG-Mac] Trouble installing bioconductor packages on 64 bit R on OS X Leopard

[Simon Urbanek]

Matthew,

it's hard to tell without seeing what *is* actually installed, but my  
guess would be that some packages (e.g. affyio ?) are only partially  
installed (maybe from previous attempts). The automatic dependency  
resolution looks only whether the dependencies are present, not  
whether they work. Therefore make sure you install those incomplete  
dependencies first.

As an aid, you can use something like this:
for i in `ls -d */libs`; do if [ ! -e $i/x86_64 ]; then echo $i; fi;  
done
in your library directory to see which packages have missing libs for  
x86_64.

Also note that if a package has a configure script, you have to  
install it manually for each architecture, because the sources have to  
be newly unpacked for each run (see the FAQ).

Finally, I thought that BioC folks are building 64-bit binaries, so  
you should not need to go through all this - but I may be wrong - try  
asking them.

Cheers,
Simon
