Thanks to you all for your replies. I didn't realize bigmemory is only available in Unix environments - when I saw
> install.packages('bigmemory') Installing package into C:/Users/BenC/Documents/R/win-library/3.0 (as lib is unspecified) --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Warning message: package bigmemory is not available (for R version 3.0.0) I made the ignorant assumption that the issue was the R version, not the OS. Maybe I'll finally get around to setting up a duel boot because of this!
