[R-SIG-Mac] architecture problems for BUILD & SHLIB

[Prof Brian Ripley]

-arch i386 is not specified in R itself (and neither is gcc-4.0).  As a 
guess you have a personal Makevars file, either in the package sources 
or under ~/.R .  See 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#Customizing-package-compilation 
.

Specifically, SHLIB and BUILD specify "-arch i386" by default on my machine. When I override and compile manually with "-arch x86_64", it is fine. I'm unsure how to deal with this problem. Where are the configuration files that SHLIB and BUILD are using that specify the compiler and the architecture?

That is in the OS X section of the same manual, with examples.
