greetings, i have been playing with the port of r to the mac. i am running into errors "unable to allocate object of size x" where x is not a big number. i tried playing with mem.limits, but that seems like the wrong beast. i think what i want is something like options(object.size=y) in S. i have gone through the documentation but can't diagnose the problem, and hence i am posting here. maybe this is something unique to the mac port, or (more likely) i am missing something. thanks in advance, mark hansen -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

This message means you are out of memory: it is "unable to allocate an object that happens to be of size x" rather than "unable to allocate an object because it is of size x". \You may need to adjust the maximum memory size options (I don't know how to do this or what are the defaults on the Mac, but it should be in help(Memory). -thomas Thomas Lumley Asst.
