64-bit R download
Does https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2008-January/004490.html help? I build 64-bit R-devel from the sources and as Simon says there, 64-bit builds are not supported for 2.6.x (I believe the intention is that they will be for 2.7.0). Since you will need to build all packages from their sources (the CRAN binaries do not include x86_64), you might as well build R as well.

Dear List, I'm sorry if this question is a bit naive for the regular commentators to R-Sig-Mac but I would like to download and install the latest stable 64-bit R to run under Mac OS X 10.5.1 on a MacPro and I'm having difficulty knowing where to download this from. I've looked on the http://r.research.att.com/ page and while I can see 2 leopard builds on the Nightly builds I can't see a link to download these (R-2.6-branch x86_64 and R-devel x86_64), but only for their logs. The only packages I can see for download are for Tiger (R-2.6- branch-tiger-universal.tar.gz and R-2.6-branch-44199.dmg - the 1st link downloads but the 2nd link only opens a blank web page of address http://r.research.att.com/R-2.6-branch-44199.dmg. (I also tried downloading the Mac OS X GUI diskimages and only 1 of the 3 of these (R-GUI-4878-2.7-Deployment.dmg) actually downloaded. I'd be grateful of any advice that could be provided to help me download 64-bit R for Mac OS X.
