This has been in the R-admin manual for a least a week, and I reported it here earlier than that. R 2.0.0 alpha does not allow f2c on 64-bit platforms. It's all been dealt with quite awhile ago ....

from the gentoo folks, on f2c problems with R on 64bit platforms: "Config and me finally found the reason. When R calls fortran functions from its c sources, it uses strictly ints for intgeres, not long ints. But f2c is perfectly right to use long ints on 64bit arches." --- ivo welch
