[1] "R version 2.1.0, 2005-04-18"

(After removing R.app and R.framework, re-installing from R-2.1.0.dmg,
logging out and in -- the last step helped.)

As this is "CRAN Mac OS X build" this seems to be in conflict with
documentation of 'options' "pkgType".

PS.   

download.packages("AMORE", type="source", destdir="/tmp")

works in MacOS X (or this one I have here) with any 'type'.
