[R] R in 64 bit for Linux

[sonysplus@netscape.net]

Thank you for your response,
Also here is another response sent privately. Our server works too now (AMD opteron, under RedHat Linux OS).
Thanks,
Sony

- The other post:
We've installed R on an Opteron system here running SuSE Linux 8.  For 
us, the default ./configure, make, make install works fine.  In general, 
I think you just need to make sure that your entire development 
toolchain (C/Fortran compilers, linkers, libraries, etc.) are all 64 bit.
