Just to be clear, will using 'R CMD build --binary packageName' then
renaming the resulting file 'packageName_version.tgz' yield a valid
binary package for Mac OS X?
Yes.

There seems to be a bug when using install.packages to install a
local binary package. Installing the package using R CMD INSTALL in

Binary packages for Mac OS X are expected to have the extension .tgz
so the above is not a valid binary package (see 6.3.2 in R-admin).
In addition binary packages for Mac OS X are expected to have the
filename packageName_version.tgz, therefore files with platform
designation are not supported, either. This is different from other
unix systems. I have relaxed the requirements for
install.packages(,repos=NULL) in R-devel but I would still strongly
recommend to adhere to the above rules.

Simon
