64-bit R and package installation question

The binaries in http://r.research.att.com/ worked great!
Thanks a lot for the tip.

However, when I tried to install bioconductor libraries using  
biocLite, I got the following error message:

bash-3.2$ R --arch=x86_64

Error: package 'affy' is not installed for 'arch=x86_64'

Is there any special way to install any packages for 64-bit compatible  
manner?

Thanks in advance,
