[R] Which packages are incompatible with 64-bit R?
Hi folks, Despite the pain of migrating to 64-bit R (I have to install 64-bit Office also due to RODBC), I'm considering making the leap due to memory issues. Is there any place that lists packages that are 64-bit incompatible? Or, will I just have to march through all my packages and check them one-by-one on CRAN? Thanks, Allie [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is there any place that lists packages that are 64-bit incompatible? Or, will I just have to march through all my packages and check them one-by-one on CRAN?An approximation to that is to call available.packages(type="win.binary") on both versions, and compare the lists. Packages may fail to appear for reasons other than incompatibility, but incompatible packages won't be available in binary versions. Duncan Murdoch
