[R] Does R work in 64 bit on apple G5?

[David Ruau]

Thanks,
I was sure the pre-compile version was 32 bit but not if you compile it 
your self...
It give the same infos when you run gc() or .Machine$sizeof.pointer 
either on OS X client with a pre-compiled version or on OS X Server 
with a home compile version.

Ncells 140949  3.8     350000  9.4
Vcells  52967  0.5     786432  6.0

Did anybody use R with Xgrid?
I am trying but it's not so easy to send the R job to the controller...
