Please tell me what additional software I need to install to compile R packages from source so they will work with 64 bit R. Thank you,Kurt
Well, if you want to use Gtk2 and glade, you should install Gtk2 in the first place. I don't know of any 64-bit binary, so you probably have to do that yourself. This has nothing to do with R ... Cheers, Simon PS: Building GTk2 from sources is not quite trivial, but I have some scripts that may help you: https://svn.r-project.org/R-dev-web/trunk/QA/Simon/R-build/misc/ I have not tested it as 64-bit build, but it should at least give you the list of dependencies and some idea of the special flags you'll need.
