I'm glad to report that 64-bit R compiles and passes make check on Mac Pro (thanks to Jan de Leeuw for providing me with access to his machine).
Quick guide: - get gfortran 4.2.0 for Intel from HPC pages (http:// hpc.sourceforge.net/) and install it ( sudo tar fvxz gfortran-intel- bin.tar.gz -C / - get Darwin driver for gfortran (e.g. from my pages, run in terminal: sudo bash cd /usr/local/bin mv gfortran i686-apple-darwin8-gfortran-4.2.0 curl -O http://r.research.att.com/gfortran chmod a+x gfortran Add the compiler to your PATH export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH get R sources, configure and build. For my test I used the following flags: ../R24-branch/configure CC='gcc -arch x86_64' CXX='g++ -arch x86_64' F77='gfortran -arch x86_64' FC='gfortran -arch x86_64' --with-blas='- framework vecLib' --with-lapack --without-x CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ include LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib/x86_64 -L/usr/local/lib' r_arch=x86_64 --with-system-zlib --build=x86_64-apple-darwin8.8.1 If you don't have 64-bit readline, add --without-readline. If you install the above (make ; make install), it will add 64-bit support to your existing R framework (I didn't test the framework itself, though). Remove the r_arch flag if you want single-arch R.
