[R] suse 9.1 x86_64 rpms?

[Kristian Eric Markon]

I noticed on the mailing list archives and through Google searches that 
a couple of months ago there was discussion of maintaining rpms for suse 
9.1 on the x86_64 architecture.

Are these rpms still planning on being released? It would help me a 
great deal.

I've tried compiling from source using the R-base spec files provided on 
CRAN. Using that, I am able to produce a running version of R, but 
readline doesn't seem to be working, nor does x11(). Moreover, I'm not 
sure that the compiled version is actually running in 64-bit mode. I've 
double-checked all the required libraries, and I seem to have them all 
to the correct version number (including readline and xfree).

The 32-bit rpms run on a 32-bit install of suse 9.1 on a different 
machine, but not on the 64-bit install of suse 9.1 on a x86_64 machine. 
I suspect some of my problems have to do with libraries being in 
different places in the 64-bit version of suse 9.1.

I could spend more time trying to compile it on my machine--and probably 
will, but I thought I would ask about any possible official distribution 
of rpms for suse 9.1 x86_64 first.

Thanks.
