I am trying to install a package from a collaborator that was given

a zip file.
I'm running R 2.9.0 using Mac OSX 10.5.7
[R.app GUI 1.28 (5395) i386-apple-darwin8.11.1]
foo.zip contains all the usual package directories (man, R, R-ex, etc)
After unzipping foo, I used the following commands.
$ R CMD INSTALL foo
* Installing to library ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/
library’
* Installing *binary* package ‘foo’ ...
* DONE (foo)
I open the R GUI and type
library(foo)
Error: package 'flsa' is not installed for 'arch=i386'
I assume this error has something to do with my Linux architecture
but I
have no idea what is really going on.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You are not using a Linux architecture. You are using a variant of BSD
Unix. That zip file (whatever its true name) was most likely designed
for a Windows installation. Why don't you be more forthright about the
name and lineage of the package and if reading the R Mac OS FAQ does
not point you to more reliable advice regarding installation, then
repost on the proper mailing list:
