Thanks, you solved it.

For posterity, here's the extra info:

R Session.info():

R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18)
i686-redhat-linux-gnu

locale:C

attached base packages:
[1] "stats"     "graphics"  "grDevices" "utils"     "datasets"  "methods"
[7] "base"

and

#uname -a
Linux stikir.com 2.6.9-023stab043.1-smp #1 SMP Mon Mar 5 16:35:19 MSK 2007
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So, yes, it was strange that R.i386 was installed.  I removed both and
reinstalled R.x86_64 (2.5.1) using yum. Now tseries seems to have installed
sucessfully, although it still threw many warnings.

Thanks again,

Mike
