Jay, Duncan,
Thank you for your replies.
The confusing part for me is that vector allows large indices, while array does
not allow.
See section 12 of the R Internals manual for a discussion of the issues.
Also, is there an estimate when R would support long arrays?
Not as far as I know.

Thanks,

Subject: re: [Rd] Support for long arrays
You could look at some extension packages, bigmemory for example. A recent
paper http://www.jstatsoft.org/v55/i14 (though for more developer-level
capabilities you would need to look at the package itself). Although the
big.matrix objects can't be used seamlessly as if they were matrices, they do
help get over some hurdles. Other packages include bigalgebra may be helpful.

I am trying to create a large array using:
d = c(1e+10,2)
a=array(0,d)
This results in the error:
