For some reason R is not happy with its 64-bit cousin when installing source packages:
* installing *source* package ‘XMLSchema’ ... ** R ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading ** help *** installing help indices ** building package indices ** installing vignettes ** testing if installed package can be loaded *** arch - i386 *** arch - x86_64 /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R: line 259: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/x86_64/R: Bad CPU type in executable /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R: line 259: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/x86_64/R: Unknown error: 0 ERROR: loading failed for ‘x86_64’ * removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/XMLSchema’
Quick hack to get things moving along: throw out the 64-bit binary, located at:
rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/x86_64/
