Today, i try to install a package in R named 'DOBDC', while i meet a message:
> install.packages('RODBC')
package ‘RODBC’ is available as a source package but not as a binary
警告信息：
package ‘RODBC’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)
Then, i opened 'R package installer', choosed 'CRAN(sources)' and enter 'RODBC' for searching.
Greatfully, there comed a package named 'RODBC', I enter 'install Selected' quickly. (choose 'install dependencies')
After a moment, R told me that it had put it in this:
下载的程序包在
‘/private/var/folders/y2/gh_0bmkn42qbgvj7hjjvtjb40000gn/T/RtmpkO2JlR/downloaded_packages’里
I opened it up and saw it. I wrote these into R:
> install.packages('RODBC_1.3-10.tar.gz',repos=NULL,tpye='source')
错误: 文件‘RODBC_1.3-10.tar.gz’不是OS X的二进制软件包
Pay attention here:
i have tried to use Rstudio to install 'RODBC' by 'install packages' in 'Tool', while it still gives me:
> install.packages("RODBC")
package ‘RODBC’ is available as a source package but not as a binary
Warning in install.packages :
package ‘RODBC’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)
so , i have to ues R Console again.

Question is what I can do now.
e.g. seceed install as:
> install.packages('animation')
试开URL’http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/macosx/mavericks/contrib/3.1/animation_2.3.tgz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 460758 bytes (449 Kb)
打开了URL
==================================================
downloaded 449 Kb
The downloaded binary packages are in
/var/folders/y2/gh_0bmkn42qbgvj7hjjvtjb40000gn/T//Rtmp4p2EbR/downloaded_packages
> library(animation)
>

haha! i have find a way to solve last question, that is,
open 'R Package Installer' in 'packages & data'. i choose 'local source package' under 'Packages Repository', enter 'install...'. R will tell us to choose a package. here i choose the package i just download before:
下载的程序包在
‘/private/var/folders/y2/gh_0bmkn42qbgvj7hjjvtjb40000gn/T/RtmpkO2JlR/downloaded_packages’里
Then, it works!!!!!!!!
I think every time i meet the problem about this , i can solve them as the same way.

some importance:
I had the same problem ("ODBC headers sql.h and sqlext.h not found") on OS X, and fixed it by installing unixodbc (brew install unixodbc)
