Erin, You can build packages without compiling from source (what made you think you couldn't?). Did you make sure when you installed the Rtools (I am assuming you are using those rather than going out and getting everything you need on your own) that you included everything for 64 bit builds? When switching between 32 & 64, I typically only switch between WIN = 32 and WIN = 64.
