I installed FC 2 X86-64 on an Athlon 64 system. I then installed R 2.0.0. It runs fine except when I try to install or update packages using either "install.packages" or "update.packages". I get the following types of errors: gcc -I/usr/lib/R/include -I/usr/local/include -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -mieee-fp -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -c block.c -o block.o cc1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set cc1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set make: *** [block.o] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'gstat' ** Removing '/usr/lib/R/library/gstat' ** Restoring previous '/usr/lib/R/library/gstat' How can I fix this?

Well it doesn't. So what is -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 doing in the CFLAGS? Sounds like you are using a 386-compiled R in compatibility mode and are getting bitten by the fact that your gcc is not a cross compiler. Did you use Martyn's RPMs? If so, I'd try a local rebuild (look up the docs for rpmbuild) of R from the SRPM. Another option might be that you need to set up a 32 bit build environment. I don't know FC3 but on SuSE you have the linux32 prefix to configure &c.

How did you get -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686? That was not put there by R, and is the problem. If you did not build R from the sources on that machine, please do so -- if this was a binary install it is for the wrong architecture.
