Failure to install spgrass6

Did you try adding type="source" to the install.packages command?  I
don't know why not having it would lead to a segfault, but I still
would have thought you'd need it to avoid it trying to find a binary
package for the Mac (at least, that's my experience on my G5).

The dependencies have installed correctly, as far as I know.  Any
thoughts?
Is this an issue with the fact that the machine is 64 bit?  I tried
installing this with the 64 bit version of R and couldn't get rgdal
installed...
