I don't currently have pedump, but I have used it before and I can get it. I'll have a look around the R-shipped dll's and will report back. During the installation, I just picked "English". Apparently the extra DLL dependency is just for wide-char support? Is the English version sensitive to Locale? My LANG is set to "en_GB.UTF-8" as is most recent Redhat linux systems, and Wine probably does strange things with it. (and I have some CJK fonts installed). <snipped> >> (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? > > > I doubt it, but you'll have to try.

Wine on linux most of the time consists of at least two processes, with a "wine server" process doing screen drawings, etc. Hin-Tak Leung ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
