Hi, I managed to install Win32 R 2.2.0 with the CRAN Innosetup installer under Wine on x86 linux a few days ago. However, on trying to run it, MSVCP60.DLL is missing. So here is a sort of a bug report, and a couple of questions:
(1) I think the R binary in the CRAN Innosetup installer was built with mingw. The R-windows FAQ did mention that this DLL is required *for Chinese/Japanese/Korean* (which I wasn't trying to do). In this circumstance, it isn't particularly legal to copy the dll from elsewhere. So I would suggest enhancing R-windows FAQ and even the main R FAQ for this... also, is it possible *not* to have this dependency, or have it runtime-determined (i.e. try to load the dll dynamically, and fall back to US/ascii only when unsuccessful)? (2) The interesting question: As I understand it (could be wrong), R Win32 is (partly) multi-threaded, and the native linux R is not. Is is possible to have better performance or CPU utilisation on multi-CPU systems running Win32 R under Wine rather than natively? At least on certain specific application areas?
