Full_Name: Ed Borasky Version: 1.8.1 OS: Windows XP Professional Submission from: (NULL) (208.252.96.195) R 1.8.1 seems to be running into a memory allocation problem in the "aggregate" function. I have a rather large dataset (14 columns by 223,000 rows -- almost 40 megabytes) and a script that performs some processing on it. The system is a 768 MB Pentium 4. Here's the console

[some de-capitalization of *SXP done manually by mailing list maintainer ; the originally was caught as potential spam. MM] I have a little R program that crashes with the message xmalloc: out of virtual memory The code has a repeat{} loop that watches the sizes of some files. When there's an increase it updates things by reading the last 65 lines of each file, doing some

Happy new year to all; A few days ago, I posted similar problem. At that time, I found out that our R program had been 32-bit compiled, not 64-bit compiled. So the R program has been re-installed in 64-bit and run the same job, reading in 150 Affymetrix U133A v2 CEL files and perform dChip processing. However, the memory problem happened again. Since the amount of physical memory is 64GB, I think

Is it possible to define an external special function (SPECIALSXP)? I'm trying to do some language-level work, and don't want my arguments evaluated before they hit C. It looks like the only way to define a SPECIALSXP is by using XX0 in the `eval' field of R_FunTab; is there any way to make this applicable to externally defined functions?

Dear all, I have written a little R program to convert images. See below. Within the loop over j (the filenames) memory consumption grows constantly. rm( ... ) inside the loop did not help. Memory does not grow if I remove the writeBin statements between the two #-------- marks. But obviously this is not solution I want... Thanks for any advice. Manfred Baumstark P.S. As I'm new to R:

Hi, all; I know there has been a lot of discussions on memory usage in R. However, I have some odd situation here. Basically, I have a rare opportunity to run R in a system with 64GB memory without any limit on memory usage for any person or process. However, I encountered the memory problem error message like this: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 594075 Kb I got this error message while

There seems to be a latent flaw in the definition of struct SEXPREC in Rinternals.h, which likely doesn't cause problems now, but could if the relative sizes of data types changes. The SEXPREC structure contains a union that includes a primsxp, symsxp, etc, but not a vecsxp. However, in allocVector in memory.c, zero-length vectors are allocated using allocSExpNonCons, which appears to

Hi, I am trying to minimize a rather complex function of 5 parameters with gafit and nlm. Besides some problems with both optimization algorithms (with respect to consistantly generating similar results), I tried to run this optimization about a hundred times for yet two other parameters. Unfortunately, as the log below shows, during that batch process R starts to eat up all my RAM,

Hi, Again, sorry for the length of this post. Once I get my new office I will get a website set up on my work machine and will simply post a link to the log since I doubt many people are truly interested in these logs. To further analyze what is happening, I added my own routine in main.c called DEBUG_SET_NAMED and then redefined the SET_NAMED macro to use it and then rebuilt R. I

Hi, In Rcpp, we now have a "Function" class to encapsulate functions (they cover all three kinds, but this may change). To call the function, what we do is generate a call with the function as the first node and then evaluate the call. SEXP stats = PROTECT( R_FindNamespace( mkString( "stats") ) ); SEXP rnorm = PROTECT( findVarInFrame( stats, install( "rnorm") ) )

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to debug an R-module, written in C, and I'm using gdb for this. How can I print "standard" R objects from within C code? BTW, I'm familiar with the advice to use R_PV given in Writing R Extensions, but it's not working for me. E.g., I get (gdb) p R_PV(x) $1 = void and yet (gdb) p *x $2 = {sxpinfo = {type = 16, obj = 0, named = 0, gp = 0,

Currently, I load the RData file then ls() and str(). But loading the file takes too long if the file is big. Most of the time, I only interested what the variables are in the the file and the attributes of the variables (like if it is a data.frame, matrix, what are the colnames/rownames, etc.) I'm wondering if there is any facility in R to help me avoid loading the whole file.

Hi, I'm trying to install RMySQL and I keep hitting errors. My computer is: uname -a Linux cricket 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5PAE #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:36:25 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I have set the following environment settings: export PKG_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient" export PKG_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" I run the following command: R CMD INSTALL

Hello, Is it possible to extend the R lexer/parser to include multiline comments like /* acomment */ ? This way I can integrate emacs org-mode with my R code, so that I can have a table of contents, section folding, html-output of source etc. e.g /* * Display Code */ #+BEGIN_SRC R foo <- function(...){ stuff } #+end_src and so on . Thanks Saptarshi

Hello, I wrote a package, which in the NAMESPACE file exports functions like this: exportPattern("^\\rh") On R-2.8 (Linux, 64), upon loading the package I have the rh functions present. On R-2.10, Mac OS X, (32 bit), it builds, loads, but the functions are not loaded, i.e the only function is rhyper (which is not from my package). Is there something wrong with my package setup?

Hello, I have a multi-page display each consisting of two-panels above each other. I need to draw a line from the top panel to bottom panel. Using current.vpTree() i find that "plot1.panel.1.2.vp" and "plot1.panel.1.1.vp" are the top and bottom ones respectively. I am using the following code(inspired by Paul Murrell's R Graphics) to draw a line. (All the

Hello, Is there a way to add ylab on the right hand side also (in lattice)? Different from the left hand side? Cheers Saptarshi [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I was trying this bit of code (i know it is an extreme case) g=function(r){ if(r==1) return(list(x=1)) else return(list(x=g(r-1))) } For z=g(500), the code runs but when I print z i.e >> z I get <environment: R_GlobalEnv> *** caught bus error *** address 0x1, cause 'non-existent physical address' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)

Hello, Suppose I have an expression, E, which accesses some variables present in an environment V. I do this via eval(E,envir=V) however all assignments end up in V. I would like the results of assignments in E to end up in the .GlobalEnv ? Or at least the calling environment. Is there a quick way to this instead of iterating over all objects E and assigning into .GlobalEnv? Thank you Saptarshi

Hello, Suppose in the following code, PROTECT(sr = R_tryEval( .... )) sr is a RAWSXP vector. I wish to return another RAWSXP starting at position 13 onwards (base=0). I could create another RAWSXP of the correct length and then memcpy the required bytes and length to this new one. However is there a more efficient method? Regards Saptarshi Guha
