Hi Simon,
Not sure if I use it as much/often as Steve, but 64bit R.app is up in
an open space virtually all the time on my system using a recent daily
'your' R and the GUI I build with XCode. Usually for several (2 to 3)
days, used at least several times a day. If I restart R.app, like this
morning, it'll select the latest daily build. Right now R 2.8.0 GUI
1.26 unknown (5259).
All packages have been installed from sources. In the past that gave
me some issues (as I privately mentioned to you). But since then I
have tried not to mix binaries and sources.
Difficulties are in the well known 'suspects', Gtk2, Graphviz, rgl,
ggobi, but otherwise I've seen very few problems.
On your system, does R-2.9 build in Xcode?

Steve,
thanks for the report. At a first glance from the crash log it seems
possibly like a problem in the OS and not R itself. Note that 64-bit
Cocoa applications are still rare on Leopard, so I'm not sure how
stable GUI applications are in 64-bit. As Brian pointed out R itself
is solid in 64-bit, so if you have issues, you can always run 64-bit
R on the command line (Terminal).
Nonetheless any feedback on 64-bit R.app is highly appreciated since
not many users appear to use it. Clearly, the more feedback we get
the better we can make it.

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. I'm not sure if
it's R itself, or the R.app GUI ... I can mess around w/ it a bit
later next week once I get passed some deadlines.
I wonder if it's the R.app gui that's the problem, and not R
itself. I'm running R 2.8 via the terminal now to see if it
eventually hangs/core-dumps/whatever.
Are other people working with 64-bit R/R.apphaving these issues? Is
the best path to using 64-bit R via custom compilation? Maybe
ignore R.app for now? What are you folks doing?
Custom compilation is not really necessary. If there are any issues
with our build then it is likely to be present in all builds.
Cheers,
Simon
