Which packages are incompatible with 64-bit R?
Thanks Duncan. Here's what I come up with. Anything obviously missing? I'd think there'd be more incompatibilities than just these few... In 32-bit: > pkgs32 = available.packages(type="win.binary") In 64-bit: > pkgs64 = available.packages(type="win.binary")
pkgnames32 = pkgs32[,"Package"] pkgnames64 = pkgs64[,"Package"]
as.character(pkgnames32[which(is.na(match(pkgnames32, pkgnames64)))])
[1] "RSVGTipsDevice" "RSvgDevice" "eco" "rcqp" "sparsenet" "hdf5"

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?
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
