Another way Jason can get up and run quickly is to do something like
R> options(pkgType = "source")
and then do biocLite. That is probably a better solution than trying
to install gettext

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
