Quick follow up before I get RTFM'd: I just found I can do:
R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch mypackage To get this to successfully work from the command line, so apologies for the second part of the question. The first Q remains, which is to either get this to happen "automagically" via Makevars, or somehow specify the package as 64bit only to see if the package can go up on CRAN until I can find time to fix the problem (if/when).
