You need to update your tools. Since you are using a binary version of R, you need the same (or later, I guess but cannot predict future versions) version of Xcode as that used to build R. The FAQ at

says Xcode 2.4.1 is required



Indeed, and just for completeness, from:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#How-to-install-packages

"5.3 Installation of source packages"
[...]
Important: When using binary R installation from CRAN, you must use Xcode 2.4.0 or higher (available from see Apple Developer Connection). Although R can be built using older tools, the way it is build depends on the version of the tools and therefore your must upgrade at least to the version of Xcode that the CRAN build uses.

I know because this comes up on this list quite often, e.g. the thread starting at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2008-April/004886.html last week.

Hi all,

I am having some problems with the released version of R. I will admit that I am trying to install Bioconductor packages, but I think that the problem should be addressed here (I have also grab the source files for R 2.8 from SVN and built it from source and everything there works fine). I am also trying to install all the packages that I download from Bioconductor as source packages. Here is the error from one of the packages that I tried to
install:

The error is cryptic. If 10.4 is an invalid option, why does it work for R
devel? Anyhow, any help would be appreciated.
