I've been doing a number of similar measurements, and have come to the same conclusion. R is currently very conservative about memory usage, and this leads to unnecessarily poor performance on

Just wanted to start a discussion on whether R could ship with more appropriate GC parameters. Right now, loading the recommended package Matrix leads to: > library(Matrix) > gc() used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) max used (Mb) Ncells 1076796 57.6 1368491 73.1 1198505 64.1 Vcells 1671329 12.8 2685683 20.5 1932418 14.8 Results may vary, but here R needed 64MB of N cells and 15MB

Hi, Main objective: Let Rgui find my ~/.Rprofile and ~/.Renviron files, where ~ is equal to getwd("~"). I have few comments/questions: (A) On my WinXP Pro installation, the system environment variable 'HOME' is not availble to R, e.g. Sys.getenv("HOME") is empty. I believe this is default case (correct me if I'm wrong). However, if I set the "Start

ISSUE: It looks like Rgui.exe never processes ~/.Renviron - only ./.Renviron. REPRODUCIBLE EXAMPLE: On Windows, create the following ~/.Renviron and ~/.Rprofile files: C:\Users\alice> Rscript -e "cat('FOO=123\n', file='~/.Renviron')" C:\Users\alice> Rscript -e "cat('print(Sys.getenv(\'FOO\'))', file='~/.Rprofile')" and launch

This example from the INSTALL help seems to be broken in R 0.90.1 (on Solaris): gilp/dse : R CMD check --help Usage: R CMD check [options] [-l lib] pkg_1 ... pkg_n I'm trying to figure out how to request more nsize and vsize when using R CMD check.

Regarding user's home and working directories, is Rprofile just an old name of Renviron? or (can) should we have both files with different type of definitions? (talking about R.1.4.0 in linux).

Hello experienced R-ers, I'm converting from S-Plus Win 98SE to SuSE 8.1, R 1.62 and have run into som problems. 1) When I use help.start() netscape comes up OK and all links are accessible except "Search Engine & Keywords" : search doesn't work and the keywords from base doesn't respond either. ?command within R gets netscape running and works OK. 2) I haven't

Hi, I am interested in customizing the installation of R. I have gone through the ?R Installation and Administration? manual. But some of the stuff is not clear to me and I would like to get clarifications on the following points (for a Windows installation with R_HOME=C:\\R\\R-2.9.1 ) : 1. I understand that I need to create a file, .Renviron with the following path : R_HOME\\etc\\.Renviron where

Hi all, I'm having a very minor problem. Most every time I use the pager (I think) I get the following error about character 32. It works fine, but the error is a bit annoying. > ?version sh: invalid character 32 in exportstr for export R_NSIZE sh: invalid character 32 in exportstr for export R_VSIZE R.Version package:base R Documentation (and then the

On Debian/Ubuntu, system wide environment variables and options are set in respectively /etc/R/Renviron.site and /etc/R/Rprofile.site. These files are automatically created when r-base is installed, and do not get overwritten during an upgrade. On Fedora, there is no /etc/R directory. What is the recommended place to define system wide environment variables and options on a Fedora system?

I'm new to R, so apologies if the answer to my question is very obvious to everyone else! I use the carbon version of R (1.5.1), not the Darwin version. After a bit of a battle, I'm getting to grips with using R, and really getting to like it, but I'm still having trouble customising startup the way I'd like it. Reading ?Startup, I see that I can specify some commands to be run

Greetings, I have a question pertaining to the concept of "environment variables" that is mentioned in the R documentation for "Startup" and also in the discussion of the Windows configuration of R in the recent book "An Introduction to R" authored by Venables, Smith, and the R Development Core Team (referred to as VS in this message). The Startup documentation and

Hi, The Gnome version now compiles, and it should also be working (at least as much as it ever has). I've changed Makefile.in to the new system, which is very cool. What I want to work on now is: - Graphics. I want to move to the Gnome canvas for this, which should be reasonably easy. This will give us rotated text (which I never got going properly before) and the option for

When I use the -v I can modify the size of the heap, as assessed by gc(), but the -n key seems to be without effect ? On a machine with 48 mB ram I can load the libraries without problem, but on my own 36 mB ram machine, I get dynload problems with the larger, eg survival4. Any suggestions ?

Hi Folks, I loaded a couple of quite large data sets into an R session and then quit (after saving the image). Now I get: Error: a read error occured Fatal error: unable to restore saved data (remove .RData or increase memory) after trying to start my R session using something like: R --vsize XXX --nsize 1000000 For any value of XXX (I went up to 300 or 400, which is as high as I could go.

Hi , I ''ve got a trouble with using R. When I want to load a file that contains 93 thousand raws and 22 colums of data (essentially float) R shows me this error message "heap size trouble" Does anyone could tell me what parameter shall I precise before launching R in order to load my big file.
