Are 32-bit precompiled packages supposed to work on 32-bit R installed on 64-bit Windows? I *think* the Windows R FAQ (2.28 Should I run 32-bit or 64-bit R?) implies that they will work, but I am having trouble getting certain packages to work. Before I spend more time on it or start asking questions about specific packages, I would like to know I'm not trying to do something impossible. Thanks, --Lee
Yes, 32-bit precompiled packages work with 32-bit R binaries on 64-bit Windows.

The location of DLLs has changed, as well as the other usual minor internal changes that come with a new version. Duncan Murdoch
