I think this was a RPM that I downloaded off of the R site for version 2.1.1. I might be looking at an issue of having installed an incorrect RPM for my OS. Looking back it looks like I am using the FC3 Linux RPM with RH 9.
 
Thanks for the sanity check.

Hi Adam,

this does not look like a matchprobe-specific problem, rather one with 
your R installation / configuration. Within the matchprobes package, 
nowhere are those offending compiler options (-m32 -march=i386 
-mtune=pentium4) mentioned, they seem to be picked up from somewhere else.

I have no idea where from, though.
Did you compile R yourself, on the same machine as you are trying to 
install the package? Are you perhaps using a precompiled distribution of R?

Best wishes
Wolfgang
