Hi all,
I'm trying to build R-1.8.1 from source on Linux and getting the
following error when the makefile gets to the step of building the help
for 'nlme':
<snip>
ranef.lme text html latex example

Has anyone else encountered this?
I've had no difficulties compiling previous versions of R on this
machine.
Thanks,

I have once seen this when a disc became full.

Thanks for the response. Disk space was not the issue (over 90G avail). However, today I tried a "make clean && make" and everything went fine. Wish I had an explanation, but I'll settle for the clean build ;-)

Flaky RAM chips and overheating might do it too. Also, running the system near memory full condition (a runaway Mozilla or Java process perchance?). Is the crash point reproducible?

Per my previous reply, I waited a day and tried "make clean && make" and got a clean build. Yesterday, I tried repeating the make command (I didn't clean first), and I did get the crash in what looked to be the same point when building the help for the nlme package. Given this, flaky RAM or high mem load seem more likely. If I run into it again I will be sure to make note of the current system load and such. Thanks, + seth
