[R-SIG-Mac] unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

This package has compiled code under inst/ .  That is only going to 
work for one architecture (unless a fat binary, which this is not).

Hardly 'from source', and you need to sort this out so the package is 
source-only.

When I issue R CMD INSTALL from the Terminal only the  64-bit version is built.  When I try to install the source from the R GUI only the 32-bit version is built, but the build produces an error ("unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)") and so does not succeed.  I also tried installing the 32-bit version from the command line by issuing the command R --arch i386 CMD INSTALL but that produced the same error as installing from the R GUI
