where os is mingw32. Does that mean I'm using only 32 bits? How can I change that?
Here are a few ways:
Sys.getenv("R_ARCH")
returns either "/i386"
or "/x64"
at least on my Windows system (but not on my Ubuntu system where it returns an empty string)
Sys.info()[["machine"]]
returns "x86_32"
or "x86_64"
on my Windows and Ubuntu systems.
Updated: With additional method.
