[R] 64 bits machines

[Rob Creecy]

Yes, we have an SGI Altix that is similar and R installs just fine. You 
should be able to compile
the source code with either the gnu or Intel compilers.

See  the R Installation and Administration manual at 
http://www.cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.pdf,
and pay particular attention to the Platform notes section for tips on 
configuration for ia64 Linux.
