RE: [R] R on 64-bit Linux machine

Thanks to everyone for the info. It is very valuable. I am a little bit uneasy about conflicting reports regarding RHEL 3, but I guess at this point I just need to try and see. It's also very soothing to know that there is an official 64-bit build on CRAN. Thanks again for taking time to answer,

[R] R on 64-bit Linux machine

2004-11-12 Thread Vadim Ogranovich
Hi, We are planning to buy a 64-bit Linux machine which will mainly run R. There was an interesting thread on 64-bits on r-help back in April that basically confirmed that the 64-bit R is fine as long as the length of an atomic object is less than 2^31 - 1. My specific question is on which

I've built (and routinely use) 64 bit R on the following platforms: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (AMD Opteron 848) Fedora Core 2 x86_64 (AMD Athlon 64 3800+) SuSE SLES 8 (AMD Opteron 248) One problem that has come up is that if you want to link R with ATLAS, you need to build shared

We've had good experience so far with the threaded Goto BLAS (on Opteron 244/248/250, SLES8). Has anyone tried building R with supposedly more optimized compilers (PGI, EKO, etc.)? If so, how do they stack up against GCC? Best, Andy From: Roger D. Peng I've built (and routinely use) 64
