[R-SIG-Mac] Error: package 'Biobase' could not be loaded - libiconv.2.dylib problem

[Patrick Aboyoun]

Jack,
Simon is correct. The Mac OS X binaries for BioC 2.2 are built for R 2.7 
on Leopard. I recommend you remove all of the BioC 2.2 packages that you 
have installed and reinstall from source packages using 
biocLite(<<package names>>, type = "source") so the binaries are built 
on your Tiger platform. I would also like to echo Simon's comment and in 
the future please send these comments to the Bioconductor list since 
this is a Bioconductor build issue.


Cheers,
Patrick
