[R] segmentation fault using hdf5load() under Unix
Dear R-users, I'm experiencing a segmentation fault when using hdf5load(file,load=FALSE). Library(hdf5) loads without problems but when loading a file, R crashes. I compiled R under Unix (Solaris for Sun). There is nothing wrong with the files, as I can run the same script at another place where R runs under Linux. Is it possible it has something to do with the hdf5 libraries where package(hdf5) refers to? Regards, Hanneke -- ir. J.M.

Please check the hdf5 package version numbers are the current one. Does the file contain text strings? If so there has been a known problem with hdf5 crashes and a recent update of hdf5 (which I do not know for sure whether it fixes the problem or not). This manifested itself as crashes on some machines and not others. On Wed, 4 May 2005 schuurmans at geog.uu.nl wrote:> I'm experiencing a segmentation fault when using > hdf5load(file,load=FALSE).
