R version 2.12.0 Under development (unstable) (2010-08-08 r52687) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) I install packages via install.packages with type = "source" (I stick to arch=x86_64). I've had no issues with installs.
What is very strange is that you seem to have built R with two archs: why if you don't want to use i386? If you build R with just one arch, it will only install/check ... that one arch. So this is shooting yourself in the foot!
When I check packages via R --arch=x86_64 CMD check package I see: * using platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0 (64-bit) ? * loading checks for arch ?i386? ? * loading checks for arch ?x86_64? ? ** running examples for arch ?i386? The check then fails since the packages are not installed on i386. I tried R --arch=x86_64 --no-multiarch CMD check package but that still runs checks on x86_64 and i386. I didn't find anything else in the "what's new" for the latest devel version.
--no-multiarch is an option to check, not to R.
I'd prefer not to install the full crane and bioconductor set in both architectures. Any suggestions (especially for the documentation that I'm sure exists but I can't find).
Rdev CMD check --help and the R-exts manual both cover this.
