memory leak using XML readHTMLTable
Thanks Yihui for normalizing my customized git URL. The version of the package on github is in the standard R format and that part of the README is no longer relevant. Sorry for the confusion. It might be simplest to pick up a tar.gz file of the source at http://www.omegahat.org/RSXML/XML_3.94-0.tar.gz D

Hi James
Unfortunately, I am not certain if the "latest version"
of the XML package has the garbage collection activated for the nodes.
It is quite complicated and that feature was turned off in some versions
of the package. I suggest that you install the version of the package on github
git at github-omg:omegahat/XML.git
I believe that will handle the garbage collection of nodes, and I'd like
to know if it doesn't.
Best,
D.
Hi, Thanks for your response and I'm sorry, I should have been more specific regarding the version of XML. I'm using XML 3.9-4. As a sort of follow-on question? Is there a preferable way to install this version of XML from github? Do I have to use git to clone it, or maybe use the install_github function from Hadley's devtools package? I note that the README indicates that: "This R package is not in the R package format in the github repository. It was initially developed in 1999 and was intended for use in both S-Plus and R and so requires a different structure for each." So I was wondering what the general procedure is and whether there's anything special I need to do to install it? Thanks. James
