loading package error message - mac os x

I'm a relatively novice user trying to install package NMF_0.2.2.tar from the cran archive.

I'm getting an error message which seems to relate to machine architecture, and I'm not sure how to address it. Searching here and on google didn't provide a fix. The installation command and error message is below.

I'm running R version 2.15.2 under Mac OS X 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. I haven't heard back from the package maintainer, perhaps he's no longer available to maintain it which is why it's archived. Any help would be appreciated as I have some older results from using this package and would like to finish that investigation.

------------------------------------------------

sudo -E R CMD INSTALL ~/Downloads/NMF_0.2.2.tar

I installed NMF 0.9 from the package author's repo (http://web.cbio.uct.ac.za/~renaud/CRAN/) on my Mac with R 2.15.1. It gave me an error message, "Error : package 'bigmemory' is not installed for 'arch=i386'", so I installed "bigmemory" package, then now it was installed fine.
