R help - Aug 2010 - Looking for an image (R 64-bit on Linux 64-bit) on Amazon EC2

I have found an existing image on Amazon EC2 including R. But unfortunately,
it is 32-bit 
R on 32-bit Linux.

Does anybody know if there exists an mage (R 64-bit on Linux 64-bit) on 
Amazon EC2?

Or how can I install 64-bit R on my own Linux instance there?

Thanks.

You have a 64 bit Linux?  If so...

Dowload the sources

make sure you have all of the dependencies

unpack tarball

cd to de-compressed directory

issue

./configure

make

sudo make install

or maybe use your distros packages managment tool.

Am I missing something?

Do you mean download Linux kernel source code and then compile it on Amazon
EC2?

It would presumably help you get a good answer if you explained
what Amazon EC2 was, and what limitations are involved in that
platform. You got a very good answer for standard 64-bit Linux,
because that was the recognizable part of your query. To go beyond
that we need more information.

*Can* you install software from source? What version of linux is
it running? Are repos for that version available? Etc. In other
words, how do you install any software?

No need to do that. They have some instances that run 64-bit ubuntu.
If I remember correctly we had to install 64-bit R from the debian
packages on the ubuntu instance.

Thanks!  But how could I find out their names on Amazon EC2?
