Hi,
I then installed R.app from R-GUI-5256-2.8-leopard-Deployment64.dmg
and installed a number of bioconductor libraries from source.
I advanced farther in getting 64-bit R and libraries up and
running than at any previous attempt, and thought I finally had
functional 64 bit R available on my Mac.
But I keep hitting a tcltk problem that I can't seem to solve.
Whenever I'm trying to install a package that requires tcltk
the installation fails with this message:
Loading required package: tcltk
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath =
DLLpath, ...) :

Resources/library/tcltk/libs/ppc64/tcltk.so':

I know this doesn't really help you at all, but it seems that tcltk
installed smoothly on my machine (Mac Pro) and I was able to compile
a 4-way fat binary.
Indeed, this issue is specific to ppc64. The problem is that it's not
possible to build ppc64 binaries of R on an Intel machine so we have
to use another machine for the ppc64 build and that machine didn't
have the latest Tcl/Tk installed. This should be fixed now so please
try the updated nightly build tomorrow.
Thanks,
Simon
In trying to be a little helpful, though ...
Initially I installed several Bioconductor packages,
using biocLite() e.g.
biocLite("beadarray", type = "source")
You don't actually need to install bioconductor packages from source
-- they're already compiled as a 4-way fat binary for Leopard as of
bioconductor 2.3 ... while it doesn't help you much here, perhaps
it's good to know to save you install/compile time in the future.
