Hello, Will "R" work on this 64 bit machine?, Here are the specs. of our linux box: *Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v.3 Standard for AMD64 and Intel EM64T) *OS: redhat-release Release: 3WS CPU Arch: ia32e-redhat-linux (4) GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz 3399 MHZ Arch: EM64T Cache: 1024 KB Vendor: GenuineIntel Memory: 2000 MB Stepping: 1 Family: 15 Swap: 4000 MB I see that you have it for Unix machines and that you have it for the following linux platforms: Red Hat i386 8/9/Fedora1/Fedora2/Fedora3 Martyn Plummer x86_64 Fedora1 James Henstridge x86_64 Fedora3 Brian Ripley i386 Enterprise Linux Matthew P.

I believe R will run out of the box on your setup. I personally haven't tried the RPMs but you can always build R from the sources (fairly straightforward on a Linux box). -roger dsandif wrote:> Hello, > > Will "R" work on this 64 bit machine?, Here are the specs. > of our linux box: > > *Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v.3 Standard for AMD64 and Intel EM64T) > *OS: redhat-release > Release: 3WS > CPU Arch: ia32e-redhat-linux > > > > (4) GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz 3399 MHZ > > Arch: EM64T Cache: 1024 KB > Vendor: GenuineIntel Memory: 2000 MB > Stepping: 1 > Family: 15 Swap: 4000 MB > > > I see that you have it for Unix machines and that you have it for the > following linux platforms: > > Red Hat i386 8/9/Fedora1/Fedora2/Fedora3 Martyn Plummer > > x86_64 Fedora1 James Henstridge > > x86_64 Fedora3 Brian Ripley > > i386 Enterprise Linux Matthew P.

Depending on what it means R will work in 32- or 64-bit mode. My hesitation is that when we tried RHEL3 without much happiness on an AMD64 box: it had lots of 32-bit components.> (4) GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz 3399 MHZ > > Arch: EM64T Cache: 1024 KB > Vendor: GenuineIntel Memory: 2000 MB > Stepping: 1 > Family: 15 Swap: 4000 MB > > > I see that you have it for Unix machines and that you have it for the > following linux platforms: > > Red Hat i386 8/9/Fedora1/Fedora2/Fedora3 Martyn Plummer > > x86_64 Fedora1 James Henstridge > > x86_64 Fedora3 Brian Ripley > > i386 Enterprise Linux Matthew P.

Martin Maechler had problems (with I believe RHEL3) and need to update gcc and g77. The problem was with gcc 3.2.x, and 3.3.3 and 3.4.3 are both fine. -- Brian D.
