[R-SIG-Mac] Error exec program in 64 bit R from terminal

[Matthew Pittinsky]

Christophe,

Thank you!  Problem solved.  I was hesitant to install builds other than the main one, which I thought installed fully for all three architectures.  At least for my machine, it did not, but 2.10.1 did the trick.

Appreciate it.

As a trivial example, I run  R --arch=x86_64 CMD BATCH /Users/mpittinsky/Desktop/test.r /Users/mpittinsky/Desktop/testoutput.txt, where the test.r program is the loading of a library (just to debug).  The library in question loads when I run the command from R64 console.  (The "real" program involves a  set of data cleaning and analysis functions).
