[R-pkg-devel] CRAN check servers terminating on stanExports_*.o files

"Slager, Dave" <dslager at fredhutch.org> ?????:

The r-patched-linux-x86_64 and/or r-release-linux-x86_64 CRAN check
servers seem to be erroring out on multiple packages, including
these, for similar reasons:

bakR
baldur
bayes4psy
BayesGmed
ctsem
eggCounts
FlexReg
networkscaleup
ssMousetrack
thurstonianIRT
trialr

I've experimented with BayesGmed a bit (because it has less
dependencies than other packages in the list). Most of its object files
require the C++ compiler to allocate more than three gigabytes of
memory. Additionally, ctsem has a slightly different error:

g++-13: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus
compilation terminated.
make[1]: ***
[/home/hornik/tmp/R.check/r-release-gcc/Work/build/etc/Makeconf:200:
stanExports_ctsm.o] Error 1

This is evidence of the computer running out of memory and killing the
processes that the kernel deems responsible.

How much memory should it normally take to install a package that makes
use of rstan?

Best regards,
Ivan
