Dear R gurus, On the CRAN website, it says that a 64bit version for Mac OS Tiger would be release shortly. Do we know what are the expected dates? Will the packages be also compiled for 64bit? We are running large microarray analysis and we keep hitting the 3Gb memory limit. I saw that there is a version available on the development mirrors, but I am not too excited to replace our very stable and reliable 32bit version with a 64bit binary that might not be that stable and with packages that would need to be 64bit compiled on site...

Dear Marco Check out http://r.research.att.com/ and see if the R 2.8.0 Patched (2008-11-21) tiger R-2.8-branch-nnnnn.dmg works for you (nnnnn = 47002 at this writing - changes every now and then). I'm no longer running Tiger so haven't tried this directly, but the Leopard version is working well. You might also want to follow the r-sig-mac list for mac-specific information.
