OpenMx Installation
Hi all,

I cannot install OpenMx in the new R 64bit version 2.11.0. Error message as follows:

>source('http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/getOpenMx.R')
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/packages/bin/windows64/contrib/2.11
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :

Any help is welcome.
Thank you
Pierre.

Two problems in our repository prevented this from installing. First, we haven't built any binaries for R 2.11. I've added a symbolic link from 2.11 to 2.10, so we'll see if R 2.11 can load libraries that were built using R 2.10. Second, we haven't built any binaries for 64bit Windows. This afternoon, I can search and see if it's possible to cross-compile for 64bit Windows on my 32bit Windows box. The other option is to build OpenMx from source.

OK, the 64-bit toolchain for R packages under windows is "under active development." If you really need a 64-bit address space, currently I'd recommend compiling the OpenMx library from source. There is some advice here: http://cran.case.edu/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Building-R-for-64_002dbit-Windows. The alternative is to use 32-bit R.
