Where does the R build for Vista X64 stand? The last update message is from July last year (see [R] Improved Windows Vista compatibility from Prof Brian Ripley on 2007-07-11). Is it likely to happen in 2008? I suspect that more people will start using it as Vista is adopted more widely. And I'd certainly use it for large genomics data sets. Thanks, Dan Gatti UNC-CH
The standard windows build works in Vista 64. A 64 bits build depends on tools outside the realm of the R-core team; a 64 bits compiler On Monday 17 March 2008 06:17:31 pm Daniel Gatti wrote:> Where does the R build for Vista X64 stand?

OK, so there is a 32-bit version of R that runs on Vista, but no 64-bit version, due to the lack of 64-bit compilers. Is there a forecast for when a 64-bit version of R might compile in Vista?
