Thanks for the quick reply.

Which manual? But anyway, I double checked and the version of readline
that I compiled uses the exact same flags. The configure script also
does not recognize readline when I do not link in the directory where
I compiled readline, so it is not a case of some other 32 bit readline
library being read in.

It compiled fine but R does not stop its error message.

OK.

Here are the two warnings before the fatal errors. I checked the line
numbers and I would think these files are not causing the problems I
am experiencing. I am certain the X libraries and whatever is being
read in from /usr/local/include are not 64 bit, but X11() seems to
work fine anyway.

Thanks, Jeremy
