Hi there, May be this question has been answered before, but how to start the 64 bit version inside ESS? I have successfully used C-u M-x R then "--arch=x86_64" <RT>, but remembering "--arch=x86_64" is a nuisance (for me...). Defining on Unix > alias R64 'R --arch=x86_64 &' works only from the terminal, so obviously this is an ESS thing (with elisp?) which I am not versed in.
You may ask on the ESS list, but another way around is to change the
default directly in the R start script by changing
: ${R_ARCH=/`arch`}
to
: ${R_ARCH=/x86_64}
