Hi all, I've had one of my most miserable R weeks in memory. I'm trying to deal with huge datasets (>1GB each) but am running up against those pesky memory limits. The libraries filehash and g.data are not very suitable for what I need. I haven't gotten into the sql thing yet. Most recently I've been trying to install the new package ff (not yet on the CRAN repository). I can't find emails of the folks developing ff, so I was hoping someone here might have an idea how to deal with this.
>From http://wsopuppenkiste.wiso.uni-goettingen.de/ff/ I've downloaded the ff_1.0.tar.gz. > install.packages(pkgs="ff_1.0.tar.gz",repos=NULL,destdir="/temp",type="source") <much output omitted> g++-4.0: installation problem, cannot exec 'i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.0': No such file or directory make: *** [Error.o] Error 255 chmod: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/library/ff/libs/i386/*: No such file or directory ERROR: compilation failed for package 'ff' So it cannot find i686-apple-darwin8-g++-4.0.0. What the hell is that? A compiler I suppose. I HAVE installed the Mac OS developer tools. I have an MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and am using the 32bit R: sessionInfo() R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) i386-apple-darwin8.9.1 locale: en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" "methods" "base" Any ideas how to get ff to install properly on my system? Most appreciative of any advice! Matt -- Matthew C Keller Asst.
