[BioC] [R-SIG-Mac] Trouble installing bioconductor packages on 64 bit R on OS X Leopard

Matthew,
As Simon pointed out, the affyio package was probably already installed 
on your machine without x86_64 architecture support, so when you tried 
to build affy, which depends on affyio, from source on the x86_64 
architecture you got an error. Here are two suggestions for addressing 
this issue:

1) Rebuild affyio from source under the x86_64 architecture.

2) Use the universal BioC 2.2 binary packages (i386, x86_64, ppc) 
produced by the Bioconductor core team.
    [Note:  R 2.6.x and the associated pre-built BioC 2.1 universal Mac 
OS X binaries only support the i386 and ppc architectures]

    Steps:
    a) Upgrade from R 2.6.2 alpha (2008-01-29 r44238) to R-devel 
(required for BioC 2.2)
    You can grab 
http://r.research.att.com/R-devel-leopard-universal.tar.gz to make your 
life easier.

    b) Use biocLite() to download and install the universal Mac OS X 
binary packages.


Cheers,
Patrick
