64-bit installers

[Ian]

Hi all,

I have a feature request if it is not too much trouble. On my Mac, I
can install and run ggobi, and rggobi works just fine with 32-bit R,
but I get errors with 64-bit R (see below). I assume that this is due
to a mis-match of bityness, and might possibly be solved by building
ggobi in 64 bits. I could not immediately figure out how to do this.

Would it be possible to provide 64-bit installers for mac/windows?


Cheers,
Ian

Hi,
I have the same request. I have published an R-package on the cran
repository which depends on rggobi and hence GGobi (http://cran.r-
project.org/web/packages/beadarrayMSV/index.html). As long as a 64-bit
windows binary installer for GGobi is not available, we will not be
able to create a 64-bit windows version of my package either. I'm
afraid this may seriously limit the potential number of users of this
package.

A 64-bit binary for windows is thus greatly anticipated!
Thanks,
Lars

Hi Ian,

64-bit works on the mac (see below for instruction). 64-bit windows
may be a little longer.

Hadley
