[BioC] problem with osx darwin 8.10.0

[Robert Gentleman]

I believe that the issue is probably that a different compiler was used 
to build the binaries than was used to build R.  I think if you check 
Simon's R on OS X page, it will tell you not to do that.

Some choices (pretty close to what Diego suggested)

   1) build all packages, so change what you download to source, not binary.
   2) get and install the same compilers Simon uses, if you want to 
build R yourself and use binary packages.
   3) get and use the prebuilt binary version of R, and binary packages.

best wishes
   Robert
