Simon, I'm following up a post that you responded to online. Apologies for the unsolicited email, but I thought you might be able to answer a quick question. I'm running Mac OSX (Leopard) with 4GB RAM. Nevertheless, I was getting the Error: Cannot allocate vector of....etc. message running some data and routines on the 32-bit R that I installed from CRAN. I then installed the 64-bit and was able to run what I needed without a memory error, BUT, the problem I have now is that I can't seem to get a few necessary packages to work in the new version. Specifically, I use routines from the "statnet" and "igraph" packages quite a bit.

I see two options. First, I'd like to have both the 32 and 64 bit versions installed on my machine so that I can switch back and forth. It seems as soon as I get one installed, the other stops working, and vice versa. The other, better, option is figuring out a way to get the packages to work in the 64-bit version. Is this possible? I use the GUI for both 32 bit and 64 bit (installed the latter per your instructions). Now I seem to be lost completely.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
