R devel - Jan 2013 - rpvm arch check

I've trying to fix the check error in rpvm package. Right now on my Mac, I
use darwinport to install PVM and I can get rpvm to pass the check using 'R
-arch x86_64 CMD check'. However the default 'R CMD check' uses i386
which
fails since PVM is built for x86_64 only.

So is there a way to ensure proper architecture is used that matches that
of the external library like PVM? What does CRAN use when it checks
packages?

Best, Michael

We use static builds which have all necessary architectures (so users don't
need to install them and can use any architecture).
