[R-SIG-Mac] Komodo, SciViews-K, and 64 bit R

[Philippe Grosjean]

Hello,

The "ln -s" command you talk about is to make a symbolic link to Komodo 
Edit (its installer fails to do that, despite there are a couple of 
useful command line options provided). Open a terminal window on your 
Mac and type this, providing you installed Komodo Edit.app in 
/Applications (all on one line):

sudo ln -s /Applications/Komodo\ Edit.app/Contents/MacOS/komodo 
/usr/bin/komodo

You will be prompted for administrative password. R can now open 
documents directly inside Komodo.

For your second question, indeed, we should support 64-bit R too, and 
including R64.app and R --arch x86_64/R --arch ppc64. For the moment, 
you can do the changes by yourself like this:

- Open the toolbox in Komodo: View -> Tabs -> Toolbox

- Navigate to SciViews-K/GUI/Menus/R/Start R folder in the toolbox.

- Copy R app (Mac) entry (right-click -> copy in context menu)

- Select 'Start R' folder again and right-click -> paste)

- Select the pasted 'R app (Mac)' entry and right-click -> properties

- In the Properties dialog box, rename it to 'R64 app (Mac)', and in 
Command: change it to 'open -a /Application/R64.app ....'

Restart Komodo Edit. You should be able to connect to your R 64-bit 
application.

P.S.: untested, please report back your results

P.S.2: you should better use the SciViews-Help mailing list 
(http://r-forge.r-project.org/mail/?group_id=194) and/or the feature 
request in the SciViews Tracker 
(http://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?group_id=194).
