Hi all, I've had one of my most miserable R weeks in memory. I'm trying to deal with huge datasets (>1GB each) but am running up against those pesky memory limits. The libraries filehash and g.data are not very suitable for what I need. I haven't gotten into the sql thing yet. Most recently I've been trying to install the new package ff (not yet on the CRAN repository). I can't find emails of the folks developing ff, so I was hoping someone here might have an idea how to deal with this.>From http://wsopuppenkiste.wiso.uni-goettingen.de/ff/ I've downloadedthe ff_1.0.tar.gz.> install.packages(pkgs="ff_1.0.tar.gz",repos=NULL,destdir="/temp",type="source")<much output omitted> g++-4.0: installation problem, cannot exec 'i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.0': No such file or directory make: *** [Error.o] Error 255 chmod: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/library/ff/libs/i386/*: No such file or directory ERROR: compilation failed for package 'ff' So it cannot find i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.0.

It doesn't seem that 'make' is in your path. What do you get when you type 'make' on your terminal? How about 'gcc'? I'm assuming XCode is installed.

Matthew, Did you take a look at the R.huge package? It works well with numerical data. If you describe the problem you're trying to solve in more detail, it may help us give you a better solution. Btw, we use the filehash package with great success in accessing very large amounts of data.
