Dear community, I encountered a very disturbing phenomenon today:
When I try to fit any gam() with mgcv R aborts. I could not find any post regarding this in google, which mades in even more strange. I am using the latest Ubuntu, latest R and latest mgcv everything up to date. The crash occured too with the last mgcv 1.7-11. This is the output from the R shell: <pre> R version 2.14.0 (2011-10-31) Copyright (C) 2011 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) > library(mgcv) This is mgcv 1.7-12. For overview type 'help("mgcv-package")'. > dat <- gamSim(1 , n=400 , dist="normal",scale = 2) Gu & Wahba 4 term additive model > gam( y ~ s(x0) , data = dat) Aborted </pre> I am using Ubuntu 11.10 - amd64, R version 2.14.0 and mgcv 1.7-12. any ideas?
