        Thanks, I'll try that ... but why isn't that directly available
        on CRAN?  Or at least pointed to there?  In other words, how
        would I have known to go there if you hadn't told me?

It's there, visit http://cran.r-project.org/, select the MacOS X option in the "Download and
Install R" area, then look down near the bottom of that page to see

 Information, tools and most recent daily builds of the R GUI, R-patched and R-devel can be 
 found at http://R.research.att.com/. Please visit that page especially during beta stages to 
 help us test the Mac OS X binaries before final release! The page has links to other builds, 
 including a 'Leopart build' which includes 64-bit architectures.

        I certainly didn't ***want*** to build a 64-bit version.  I
        just downloaded the tar file file and went thought the usual
        routine.

        Is there some ``flag'' that I should set to obtain a build of
        a 32-bit version?  I would have thought that this would be the
        default.

                cheers,

                        Rolf Turner
