When you run the 64bit version of R on OSX you need to compile all packages
from source as 64bit too, rather than simply downloading the binaries which
are all 32bit.

To compile R packages from source you need to have installed the Xcode
package from apple. It can be installed from your OSX discs or downloaded
from the Apple Developer Network site which is is free to join.
