I'm closer but still not quite there. Here's the configure command I'm using:
./configure 'CC=gcc -m64' 'CXX=g++ -m64 -mminimal-toc' 'FC=gfortran -mc64 -fno-optimize-sibling-calls' 'F77=gfortran -m64 -fno-optimize-sibling-calls' 'LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64' R_PAPERSIZE='letter' I'm using the -mminimal-toc and -fno-optimize-sibling-calls flags because of this error during make: /usr/bin/ld: ../nmath/libnmath.a(gamma.o)(.text+0xf4): sibling call optimization to `Rf_chebyshev_eval' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs; recompile with -mminimal-toc or -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, or make `Rf_chebyshev_eval' extern /usr/bin/ld: ../nmath/libnmath.a(gamma.o)(.text+0x270): sibling call optimization to `Rf_stirlerr' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs; recompile with -mminimal-toc or -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, or make `Rf_stirlerr' extern /usr/bin/ld: ../nmath/libnmath.a(gamma.o)(.text+0x34c): sibling call optimization to `Rf_lgammacor' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs; recompile with -mminimal-toc or -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, or make `Rf_lgammacor' extern /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [R.bin] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R-2.4.1/src/main' make[2]: *** [R] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R-2.4.1/src/main' make[1]: *** [R] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/R-2.4.1/src' make: *** [R] Error 1 But those flags aren't helping as those errors persist. Is there anything else I can do? thanks, Andrew Ferris Network Support Analyst iCAPTURE Research Centre University of British Columbia >>> Prof Brian Ripley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/15/07 12:11 AM >>> On Thu, 15 Mar 2007, Peter Dalgaard wrote: > Andrew Ferris wrote: >> Peter, >> >> First off, as you may have guessed, I don't compile many 64 bit programs so >> thanks again for the help.

Or use CFLAGS=-m64, and FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS similarly. The CC etc forms are preferred, as not all configure scripts use the environment CFLAGS.
