Subject: [Rd] Package-check failure (i386) (PR#8822)
Message-ID: <20060430123535.5B155CD16@slim.kubism.ku.dk>

Full_Name: Dan Kelley
Version: 2.3.0
OS: OSX Macintosh
Submission from: (NULL) (142.68.207.218)


R2.3.0 has a problem checking one of my self-authored Oce package
(http://myweb.dal.ca/kelley/pub/sof/oce/index.php).  The package builds fine on
another machine running a R2.2.1.  Both machines are macintoshes running the
latest version of OSX.

I am reporting this here not to get help - I realize the package is too big to
provide a test case - but rather as an alert.

Running "R CMD check oce" produces an error, and when I checked the relevant
failure file (ctd.Rout.fail), I see the following contents.  This suggests that
maybe the system is trying to run an i386 binary, even though the machine has a
powerpc CPU.  (Now you can see why I'm reporting this -- it seems to be a
problem with the OSX universal binary.)

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R: line 192:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/i386/R: cannot execute binary
file
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R: line 192:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/i386/R: Unknown error: 0
