help?  I build 64-bit R-devel from the sources and as Simon says there, 
64-bit builds are not supported for 2.6.x (I believe the intention is that 
they will be for 2.7.0).  Since you will need to build all packages from 
their sources (the CRAN binaries do not include x86_64), you might as well 
build R as well.
