R help - Aug 2008 - SOLVED - memory problem - failing to load rgl in R 2.7.1 patched

Hi,

Sorry for that ..... Today R did load both ca and rgl packages with no problems
... the single thing i've done since Friday was to put "defrag" on
drive C, i even didn't re-start the computer ...actually it was re-started
several time with same weird problem ... so i suppose something was segmented
badly on the hard drive.

>> yesterday i had the surprise not to be able to load the package
"ca" on R 2.7.0 saying that cannot find required package rgl although
it was there. So today i've upgraded to 7.2.1. patched and i got the
following error:
>>
>>> local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
>> + if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
>> Loading required package: rgl
>> Error : cannot allocate vector of size 2.0 Gb
>> Error: package 'rgl' could not be loaded
>>
>> I've "up-ed" the memory to max which is 4 Gb for my
computer and tried again ... same result. I know how to install packages and
load them .... or at least i thought so. Do you know what is wrong??
