I just started looking at and trying R.  The problem could be external to R, but
I really don't know. It reads 

'The instruction at "0x004412f0" referenced memory a "0x0095e40c". the memory
could not be "read" '

I get this after installing modules "waveslim.zip" and "tseries.zip" and
restarting.

Dear all,

this is the 2nd bug report on this within one or two days (the other one 
has #3079).
Please check
  a) whether there is really a bug and
  b) whether it has been reported before.


And again two questions:
  a) which version of *package* tseries?
  b) what way did you install it?

For me
   install.packages("tseries")
works!

I guess you downloaded a tseries version that was compiled for R<1.7.0.
The most recent Windows binary on CRAN ( != most recent tseries version) 
for R-1.7.0 should be called tseries_0.9-11.zip on 
CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/1.7  --- note the 1.7!!!

Joaquin and Girish, does the correct binary solve your problem?

The version is 0.9-11 and was installed fron CRAN directly using the 
menu on R-gui, I assume that it was compiled for R 1.7.0. Also, the 
problem is not that I cannot load the package tseries, the problem is 
that R does not even start unless I use the option

R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=ctest

at startup.

Also, I should mention that the problem arises only under Windows XP. It 
works just fine under Windows 95, Windows 98, as well as RedHat Linus 7.3.

Uwe,

I just did some experimentation.   The problem on my computer comes from
tseries.zip.  I  removed the directories "/library/tseries" and
"/library/waveslim" and R started up fine.  Then I restored
"/library/waveslim" ; again R started fine. I then removed
"/library/waveslim" and restored "/library/tseries"; and R DID NOT start up
fine.   I don't know what version of tseries it is.  It is just the current
tseries.zip off of the United States mirror http://cran.us.r-project.org/
dated  04-Mar-2003 12:57 .

I just downloaded tseries_0.9-11.tgz and from the changelog it suggests I
have version 0.9-10.  This might be the problem.

waveslim, though, works just great.  This beats Octave !

Hi All:

I just downloaded the tseries_0.0-11.zip file and installed. I have the 
same problem, R would not start. Attached is the file produced by the 
operating system that may be of some help.

I cannot reproduce this,
  neither on Windows NT4.0 SP6, nor on Windows XP SP1;
  neither with the R-1.7.0 binaries from CRAN nor with my self-compiled 
versions (R-1.7.0 and R-1.7.0 patched).
