How do I best set up M-x R32 and M-x R64?

[John Maindonald]

I can make at present make a change to ess-sit.el so that
M-x R invokes R32 (Simon's recent R32/R64 choice for
Snow Leopard).  But how can I easily change my setup
so that M-x R32 invokes R32, while M-x R64 invokes R64?

Thanks in advance!

ESS autodetects what versions of R are on your path using the variable
ess-r-versions:

ess-r-versions is a variable defined in `essd-r.el'.
Its value is
("R-1" "R-2" "R-devel" "R-patched")

presumably if you have a binary called 'R64' on your path, then changing
this variable to include "R64" should then mean that you can do M-x R64
to get the 64 bit version.

Thanks. There seems to be a bit more to it than this.

As well as doing (in essd-r.el)

(defvar ess-r-versions '("R-1" "R-2" "R-devel" "R-patched" "R32" "R64")

I also added

(setq-default inferior-R64-program-name "R64")

to ess-site.el.  Something more seems required.

(R32 and R64 do work from the command line.)

oops, I see you edited essd-r.el directly, so you can ignore the comment
about defvar and closing paren!
