I have been running R on my Linux/SuSE for over 2 months. I know it works.
Some time ago it aborted as it ran out of memory in spite of having 2GB RAM
+ swap. Someone in this forum asked me whether I had compiled with the
64-bit libraries or the 32-bit since my computer is a 64-bit architecture.
Therefore my question is about the "configure" procedure I have downloaded.
Which parameters/options should I use with this configuration file in order
to get a 64-bit executable R ?
Last Friday my computer X server was messed up presumably by the on-line
installation of upgrade patches. I am reinstalling all the applications
after reinstalling the O.S.
Thank you so much,
Maura
