I had a quick google search for this problem and found a discussion in the redhat mailing list archives that discusses the issue and points to the following bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=138447 Which describes the behaviour I am experiencing. Basically, the LAPACK in FC3 is broken because it was compiled with gcc-3.4 and that introduced errors when -O2 optimisations were used to compile the rpm. That bug was recently reopened so there may be the possibility of the FC3 rpm being updated (the underlying problem has been fixed by compiling with lower optimisation).
Yes, that _is_ described in R-admin, and R is itself careful to compile the critical routines with -ffloat-store.
