Re. Windows, the issue is that we're using the mingw32 toolkit. If there is ever a mingw64, I'm sure we'd attempt a port almost immediately. > If you want a prebuilt version you are out of luck except for Debian Linux > on Alpha or ia64, from a quick glance. Actually, I've rolled up an x86_64 RPM for SuSE 9.1 which should be en route to CRAN. Detlef Steuer is awaiting delivery of a 64bit machine and plan to maintain the SuSE version in the longer run. It's sitting in http://www.biostat.ku.dk/~pd/R-suse9.1-x86_64 for now. In general, it seems to be quite trivial to take a SPEC or SRPM for the 32 bit version of a distribution and rebuild an RPM for 64 bits. However, you might prefer to install from the source tarball anyway if you want to take advantage of high-performance libraries (some of which can not be redistributed). -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
