Garth,

I bet you didn't use the Installer. The tar ball contains more than your system can handle, that's why the installed removes ppc binaries on Lion. You can do the same by hand with something like
sudo rm -rf `find /Library/Frameworks/R.framework -name ppc`

However, I'd recommend using the Installer instead since there are other Lion-specific actions (such as changing the default arch etc.). 

Cheers,
Simon

Hi,

I am running Lion which no longer supports the Power PC architecture.

I want to build a package from source using R-devel.

This is what happens:
$ R CMD INSTALL rjson_0.2.6.tar.gz
BiocInstaller version 1.3.3, ?biocLite for help
* installing to library
?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library?
* installing *source* package ?rjson? ...

** libs

If I add the option --no-multiarch, it builds fine.
But I would like to build the package for both the i386 and x86_64
architectures.

Is there some setting I can change so that by default, packages will be
built for both these architectures but never for ppc?

I am using the binary of R-devel from http://r.research.att.com.
