Ok, I will take this over to the R-SIG-Mac list and cc Herve who is
the build manager of Bioconductor. I suspect that something is wrong
with the Bioconductor builds.
Synopsis: Jason is running R-2.7.0 from CRAN on an Intel macbook
running 10.5.3. He says he has Xcode 3.0 installed. He tries to
install the binary version of aff from Bioconductor using the normal
biocLite("affy")
However, even though the tarball downloads and gets installed, the
package won't load. It complains that it needs the library /usr/
local/lib/libintl.3.dylib (and an otool -L really confirms this),
but apparently this files does not exists. I am a bit surprised that
the binary version links to something in /usr/local. I have this
file on my PPC G4 running 10.5.3. As I see it, this should work out
of the box with the system Jason is running. Does anyone have any
good ideas? My hunch is that something might be up with the binary
builds?
Just so Jason can get up and running quickly (and not have to wait for this to get sorted out in the builds or whatever), I would recommend as a band-aid procedure to just install gettext for now, as I am fairly certain that this will provide the /usr/local/lib/libintl. 3.dylib that he is missing. I gather that he might not be very comfortable from the command line, so following these steps in a terminal session should do the trick: cd /tmp curl http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.17.tar.gz | tar xz cd gettext-0.17 ./configure make sudo make install HTH, -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Physiology, Biophysics, and Systems Biology Weill Medical College, Cornell University http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos
