R help - Dec 2003 - R in 64 bit for Linux

I sent this post earlier, but I am not sure if it reached the R-help mailing
list:
I want to install R in a 64 bit machine with Linux OS, has anyone done this
instalation? If yes, can someone give some important points how to install it?
TIA,
Sony

Netscape. Just the Net You Need.

People have installed R on several variants of Linux on several 64-bit 
architectures.  Some are even described in the R-admin manual that comes 
with R.

To my knowledge Compaq Alpha and AMD Opteron are in current use, and I 
believe Debian tests on Itanium.

Read the R-admin manual.

Thank you for your response,
Also here is another response sent privately. Our server works too now (AMD
opteron, under RedHat Linux OS).
Thanks,
Sony

- The other post:
We've installed R on an Opteron system here running SuSE Linux 8.  For 
us, the default ./configure, make, make install works fine.  In general, 
I think you just need to make sure that your entire development 
toolchain (C/Fortran compilers, linkers, libraries, etc.) are all 64 bit.
