Hi,
I'd be grateful for help with the following:-
Running R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) on Gentoo Linux, on an
x86 PC. I am trying to install maptools, (via CRAN from
maptools_0.7-29.tar.gz'), for the first time.
All runs smoothly until the installation gets to
"*** installing help indices" for spCbind-methods, about two
thirds of the way through the help files, at which point the
installation hangs until R runs out of memory.
The last few lines of the output are :-
"sp2tmap text html latex example
spCbind-methods text html latex example
Out of memory!"
and it freezes.
Memory available as reported by
> gc()
used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) max used (Mb)
Ncells 133838 3.6 350000 9.4 350000 9.4
Vcells 81771 0.7 786432 6.0 406077 3.1
top, in another shell, reports that I am using almost all
the memory (2G) and almost all the swap (1G)
the command
perl /usr/lib/R/share/perl/build-help.pl --txt --html
--latex is running as well as R.
I tried this on an amd64 Linux system, and got exactly the
same results.
I've never seen this before, and I can't find any similar
issues in the bug tracker, or on the forums.
Any suggestions? Am I missing something that it needs?
Anthony
