Hello,
Will "R" work on this 64 bit machine?,
Yes.
Here are the specs. of our linux box:
*Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v.3 Standard for AMD64 and Intel EM64T) *OS: redhat-release Release: 3WS CPU Arch: ia32e-redhat-linux
That's not at all clear: what is `ia32e'? Depending on what it means R will work in 32- or 64-bit mode. My hesitation is that when we tried RHEL3 without much happiness on an AMD64 box: it had lots of 32-bit components.
(4) GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz 3399 MHZ
Arch: EM64T Cache: 1024 KB Vendor: GenuineIntel Memory: 2000 MB Stepping: 1 Family: 15 Swap: 4000 MB
I see that you have it for Unix machines and that you have it for the following linux platforms:
Red Hat i386 8/9/Fedora1/Fedora2/Fedora3 Martyn Plummer
x86_64 Fedora1 James Henstridge
x86_64 Fedora3 Brian Ripley
i386 Enterprise Linux Matthew P. Cox
Could I use the Fedore 3 x86_64 version?
Not likely (it has later software than RHEL3). Building from the sources should be straightforward, but watch the compiler versions. Martin Maechler had problems (with I believe RHEL3) and need to update gcc and g77. The problem was with gcc 3.2.x, and 3.3.3 and 3.4.3 are both fine.
