Perhaps to put it in a different way: I'm pretty sure that if you run the `install.packages(..., type='source')`, as Seth suggests, from within a 64bit version of R, it will compile he library as 64bit as well, so you shouldn't have all that much to worry about. (Assuming you've got 64bit R running, that is). -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
