Hi James, I ran all your code on a fresh R session (64 bit, OS X 10.6.0) and got no errors. I suspect what Steve suggests is true: your computer is running out of memory. Have you tried running it on a 64 bit machine?
Here is my sessionInfo(): R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22) x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0 locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_2.11.0 lattice_0.18-5 tools_2.11.0 HTH, Jorge On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 5:28 PM, <> wrote: > I would like to run R code from a file that is generated from other source. > The file consists of some variables and formulas/equations such as > > Variables = log(100) > ##Other variable definitions > VariablesWithLongNames = 2*3*log(12345678)+10^4 + Variables > Equations=log(VariablesWithLongNames)+Variables^2 > ##Other equations, formulas > Result = Equations^2+rnorm(10000) > hist(Result,breaks=100,freq=FALSE) > lines(density(Result),col = "blue") > > The file may be very long and some variable names may be very long too. > We know that objects > 100Mb can cause R to run out of memory.
