R devel - May 2006 - 2.3 issues on Mac (PR#8915)

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/etc/ppc/Renviron and
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/etc/i386/Renviron
both use /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current for LaTeX
related variables. Could this be updated for i386 to take into account the
teTeX intel binaries?

Also, Makeconf is not setup to create universal binary libraries. Will this
be done at some point?

Lastly, R.mpkg crashes Apple's Remote Desktop 2.2 when installing on a
client. I was wondering if anyone else sees this?

Thanks,
Ryan

It is (see "2.5 Sub-architectures" in R-admin).

I don't have ARD, but since R.mpkg was created using PM and there are  
no binaries involved, I'd guess this is an ARD bug. (Installation  
using both command line and Installer.app works fine). Unless someone  
donates an ARD license (it's rather costly) I can't do much - but if  
you find the cause feel free to share it with us.
