In this OS X 10.5.8 box running R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22), these options launch R with 32bits architecture: R R --arch i386 R --arch=i386 **There is not a R32 symlink here. These ones launches R with 64bits architecture: R64 R --arch x86_64 R --arch=x86_64 > True (but you may have other scripts of that name earlier in your path: > I do from before this was done by the installer). > Scripts are devil here! This thread has its origin in an issue while running a R script used to launch FastRWeb. I'm not able to find now where I read that it only works in a 32 bits environment. As far as the script launching it, sudo /var/FastRWeb/code/start, runs in 64bits mode, my guess was that the problems to put it up and running where related with this issue. The point is that I have a fully operative RFastWeb installation running locally in my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.8. Simply great! Absolutely great! Thanks all for your help. But I'm still struggling to understand why /var/FastRWeb/code/start launches in 64bits mode. Something in the related scripts, but I'm not able to find it. >But the documented way is R --arch i386 (or x86_64). > > Which is the default sub-architecture depends on the version of OS X > which was used for installation: from memory this is i386 for Leopard > and x86_64 since. I can confirm this is correct for Leopard (10.5.x); I'll check the default for Snow Leopard and beyond when regain access to some now not available remote boxes.

I'm currently moving back and forth to/from two Mac systems running OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6.8. **All the information posted in this thread concerns only 10.5.8 box**. In fact I'm facing some behavior in the 10.6.8 that doesn't fit what I'm seeing in the 10.5.8 one. -- Brian D.
