Is it possible to get some clarification regarding what is considered
a "release" configuration of R and what is considered "experimental?"
I would like to run a 64-bit build of R 2.7.0 on an x86_64 Mac Pro
with 18GB of RAM running Leopard (10.5.2). When I install the
precompiled "universal" binary, it appears that I am getting a 32-bit
build (I think this because I cannot allocate objects of size >3GB and
because .Platform$r_arch="i386"). I checked out the
r.research.att.com site, but I am hesitant to install an
"experimental" build. Also, I tried compiling R myself, but ran into
a large number of issues (including not passing make check, which I
now see is addressed in the FAQ).
So my question is, once 10.5.3 is released, should the binary I
download from CRAN install a 64-bit version of R? Will I need to
compile from source? Or am I still too far ahead of the curve?
Thanks,
Michael
