You don't seem to know your OS spec, so how can we guess?
You chip can run various different OSes.  RH claim to have
RHEL4 for AMD64/EM64T, but not `for 64bit'.

Use uname -a. If it mentions ix86 (for x=3,4,5,6 or perhaps 7) use that RPM. I expect it will mention x86_64. In that case you may need to install from the sources. One way to do so is to install the SRPM, rpmbuild that and then install it. But building from the source tarball is also a cinch, and will avoid RH's broken blas library (if you have that installed). The other advantage is that you can install the current R-patched rather than R-2.2.0 and benefit from all the patches.

Of course, it is possible that RedHat has an RPM (they do for FC3 and
FC4), so have you checked their repositories?

Dear Group,
I have a machine which has a 64bit Intel® Xeon™
Processor 3.00GHz, 2MB L2 Cache 6T302N - [ 221-7984 ]
processor.
(Dell Precision Workstation 670n Intel® Xeon™
Processor)

The OS is RedHat Enterprise Linux version 4 (for
64bit).

I went to /bin/linux/redhat/el4/i386 on CRAN FTP site.
I have no clue if any of these RPMs are suitable for
this machines configuration.

Could any one point me to an appropriate RPM that I
can download and install it on this machine.
