And downloading the tarball and installing is a recipe for failure.

Why? People that don't have direct internet connection do that on a regular basis. You only have to make sure you don't unpack the content involuntarily.


If you want to install source packages, just use the correct arguments.

biocLite("affy", type = "source")

will get you the correct affy version plus all required dependencies.


I don't think Massimo was talking about source packages. That would require much more - you'll need Xcode tools etc. and you wouldn't see the error he was having since you'd be compiling it yourself. Note that on Mac binary packages are also tar balls and R knows what to do with them ...

Cheers,
Simon

PS: Normally you don't need development tools for binary packages - as I was pointing out there is something wrong with the binary Massimo was using.

It looks like you don't have all the development tools installed. The missing library /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib is part of the Fortran compiler which is included with the full R installer.
