Peter,

you have probably compiled ncl in 64-bit (default on SL) but you're  
using
32-bit R, so it won't work. Either use 64-bit R or compile ncl for  
32-bit.

I suspected something obvious of the like.  Unfortunately, I've not  
been able to get 64 bit R working for me.  When I try the following  
for the CRAN version:

Birch$ R --arch x86_64
/usr/bin/R: line 207:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/etc/x86_64/ldpaths: No such
file or directory

So I got the 2.9.2 patched version distributed as a tar.gz from <http://r.research.att.com/ 

(thanks for providing this Simon!), but that doesn't work with the  

64bit GUI build on the same site (it won't even launch, because it  
need 2.10.0).

So I installed the 32/64 Universal 2.9.0,

but now building any package gives errors [1] perhaps because SL  
doesn't install ppc64 libraries?

I the same (or similar warning) using the R-devel nightly.

I apologize if this to is obvious.  When I install xcode, do I need to
install the tools for prior OSs to get ppc compilers?

I'm running 10.6 from clean install, with the supplied Xcode, and R
2.9.2.  I am unable to build a package (specifically the phylobase
package [1]) which built fine under 10.5.8.  Even more confusingly  
it
seems to build fine for others using 10.6.   The end of the install
log (appended below) contains the these potentially informative
errors:

ld: warning: in ncl/ncl/.libs/libncl.a, file is not of required
architecture
ld: warning: duplicate dylib /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib

The latter error I get with any source package, but doesn't seem to
prevent them from being installed.

The package also makes use of the Rcpp interface to use an included
library (NCL).  It is this included library that seems to not build
correctly, which could very well be related to the old version of
Rcpp, or the makefiles responsible for building it.

I've tried all manner of tweaking, upgrading, and list searching,  
but
the (probably obvious) solution still eludes me.  Any pointers in  
the
right direction are greatly appreciated.

Peter
