The instructions on http://r.research.att.com are probably very clear to individuals with more appropriate experience than I have. My knowledge of unix barely extends beyond what I had to know to run SAS (vi editor) and manipulate files. I have been struggling with getting 64 bit R to run. The information in your response above worked perfectly and 64 bit R, including the GUI, appears to be functional. The R Console displays the the expected pointer size and some elementary miscellaneous R code (not shown) ran without err! or. R version 2.8.0 alpha (2008-09-26 r46576)Copyright (C) 2008 The R Foundation for Statistical ComputingISBN 3-900051-07-0...> .Machine$sizeof.pointer[1] 8I have used 32 bit R to work through various tutorial exercises and become able to start using R instead of SAS. The conversion to 64 bit R is necessary to use additional memory for my "real" work. Your Mac GUI is VERY IMPRESSIVE!!! It is a tremendous product!! I have a question about packages. When I click on "Packages & Data" on the GUI menu bar, select "Package Installer", select "CRAN (sources)", select "Get List", select a CRAN Mirror site then click on OK the following error appears in the R Console *** caught segfault ***address 0x217b629cf, cause 'memory not mapped'Traceback: 1: select.list(choices, multiple = FALSE, title = title) 2: menu(m[, 1], graphics, "CRAN mirror") 3: chooseCRANmirror()Possible actions:1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)2: normal R exit3: exit R without saving workspace4: exit R sa! ving workspace> Selection: Please tell me if I have missed something a bout using the 64 bit GUI "Packages & Data" feature.Thank you,Kurt [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
