Error: package 'affyio' is not installed for 'arch=x86_64'

Loren,
Following David's comment, it is hard to determine where/when the  
change occurred. The MacOS X leopard binary for the BioC 2.3 release  
of affyio does contain the x86_64 binary lib:

Patricks-MacBook-Pro-2:~ patrick$ curl -O  
http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.3/bioc/bin/macosx/leopard/contrib/2.8/affyio_1.10.1.tgz

Patricks-MacBook-Pro-2:~ patrick$ ls affyio/libs/x86_64/
affyio.so

One theory is that you installed the package from source while  
operating on the 32-bit architecture. If you do find a reproduce,  
please post your message to the Bioconductor mailing list since this  
is a packaging/distribution issue, rather than a R Mac OS X one.
