I am having difficulty installing the arm package and would be
grateful if anyone could give some advice.
I have updated my computer to a Mac OS X version 10.5.5 ( processor: 2
x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) and I have downloaded R version 2.8.0
I have downloaded the package arm, but when i try to install it, the
following message is given in R:
Loading required package: MASS
Loading required package: Matrix
Loading required package: lattice
*** caught bus error ***
address 0xc, cause 'non-existent physical address'
Traceback:
1: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
2: library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib)
3: loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source =
keep.source)
4: doTryCatch(return(expr), name, parentenv, handler)
5: tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1]])
6: tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers)
7: tryCatch(expr, error = function(e) { call <-
conditionCall(e) if (!is.null(call)) { if
(identical(call[[1]], quote(doTryCatch))) call <-
sys.call(-4) dcall <- deparse(call)[1] prefix <-
paste("Error in", dcall, ": ") LONG <- 75

conditionMessage(e) sm <- strsplit(msg, "\n")[[1]] if
(14 + nchar(dcall, type = "w") + nchar(sm[1], type = "w")

sep =
"") } else prefix <- "Error : " msg <-
paste(prefix,
conditionMessage(e), "\n", sep =
"") .Internal(seterrmessage(msg[1])) if (!silent &&
identical(getOption("show.error.messages"), TRUE))
{ cat(msg, file =
stderr()) .Internal(printDeferredWarnings()) }
invisible(structure(msg, class = "try-error"))})

dataPath)})

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
