Dear Jack, First, please do not use r-help or r-devel to ask Bioconductor-related questions, Bioconductor has its own support site for BioC packages: https://support.bioconductor.org/ Second, please note that ROOT_6.x cannot be used for xps. In the README file I mention for Yosemite: ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.34.30.macosx64-10.10-clang61.tar.gz However, you can probably also use the newest version: ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.34.34.macosx64-10.10-clang61.tar.gz Before installing ROOT again please make sure to delete all versions of ROOT that you have already installed.
