[R-SIG-Mac] Rscript on OSX

[Simon Urbanek]

Ido,

I suspect that you are talking about a ppc Mac (just guessing, you  
didn't tell us). Unfortunately the installation of Rscript is  
currently not multi-arch safe, so the binary in the CRAN version is  
i386 only. I have changed the nightly build script such that there  
should be a fat Rscript in the nightlies tomorrow at
http://r.research.att.com/

Cheers,
Simon
