Hi,

Early last week, I installed the 64-bit leopard build for R provided here: http://r.research.att.com/

I've realized that when R.app is running in the background (and sitting idle), it eventually beach-balls. When I switch over to see what's happening, I see that R is crashed, and it's giving me options to:

* abort
* save workspace then abort
* 1 or 2 others

Sorry, I didn't copy the issue down exactly because I hastily quit it and reinstalled R 2.7.2 to get back to work.

Note that the Leopard build contains both 32-bit *and* 64-bit, so you don't have to install anything special to get back to 32-bit - just start the 32-bit version of the GUI and you're set.


I knew I could switch between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R from the command line, but I wasn't sure how to do it using the R.app GUI. How do I do it?


Each is a separate binary - if you start the 32-bit R.app you get 32- bit R. If you start 64-bit R.app, you get 64-bit R --- it's as simple. I recommend renaming the 64-bit one to R64.app to make it easier to remember which is which :).

Cheers,
Simon


I feel like I remember reading somewhere that you can find a 64-bit checkbox in the "File > Get Info" dialog box to toggle 64bit apps. Is that it?

Thanks,
