[R-SIG-Mac] Error: package 'affyio' is not installed for 'arch=x86_64'

[Loren Engrav]

Thank you

I went down the R.app Package Manager list and clicked all the boxes and 6
of them gave the error message so on these I did the biocLite (c("xxx",
"yyy", "zzz"), type="source") drill
And all is Ok again

You might be right, I might have hit the binary buttons
