I did a little surfing but did not find a recent answer to how to build 64-bit R from source. I use ESS/emacs, so I don't want to build the GUI right now; this is mainly so that I can have a 64-bit devel version of R running. I have xcode tools 2.4 and gfortran running and routinely build R from source, but not 64-bit. Any suggestions or links that I missed are appreciated. Thanks, Sean

You may want to have a look at http://r.research.att.com/exp/ it contains the 64-binary, but also the flags used to build it. As of tools, just use the tools that come with R 2.3.1. Cheers, Simon
