Hi All,

I am on a fully updated MacBook Pro, running 10.8.2. I get:

uname -m
x86_64

from the terminal, as would be expected.

I have been using the CRAN OSX binaries for some time now, rather than building 
from source, which I had been doing previously.

Somewhere along the way in the past few weeks, apparently since I installed R 
2.15.2, the default architecture under which R is running is now 32 bit, not 64 
bit, which was the case previously. I just noted this today due to some funny 
encoding issues that I had not seen before and have spent the past few hours 
trying to figure out what changed.

I initially thought something was amiss with the latest 2.15.2 release .pkg 
file. I completely removed R (Framework and symlinks to the startup scripts, 
etc.) and re-installed. Same thing. 32 bit R was the default link from 'R'.

So I removed R again and re-installed 2.15.1 (getting the older binary from 
CRAN), since that was the last version of R that I had installed which 
defaulted to 64 bit.

Funny, same thing, it defaulted to 32 bit R.

Then I wondered if there was something related to some anti-virus software 
(Avast) that I had recently installed due to some events that had occurred 
recently. I completely removed the AV software, rebooted, removed R and then 
re-installed R. Same thing, 32 bit R as the default.

What am I missing here? What is the installation program and/or the R startup 
script itself looking for that determines whether 64 or 32 bit R should the 
default when one simply uses 'R' to start it up? A read of the R startup script 
suggests that the output (as above) of 'uname -m' being 'x86_64' may be all 
that is needed, but perhaps I am missing something else.

I am also attaching the full installation log file here (for 2.15.2). I did not 
see anything there obvious to my eyes.

I can't recall the timeline well enough right now to consider whether some OSX 
update changed something, or if there is something strictly unique to my MBP 
that is causing this problem. 

Thanks for any insights.

Regards,

Marc
