Subject: R 2.3 crashes when attempting package installation
I am using the latest R (2.3) within Emacs/ESS on an iMac G5.
When I type "install.packages()" within R, the program crashes, generating the
following error:
> install.packages()
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
*** caught segfault ***
address 0x5f4d4550, cause 'memory not mapped'
Traceback:
1: download.file(url = paste(repos, "PACKAGES.gz", sep = "/"), destfile = tmpf,
method = method, cacheOK = FALSE, quiet = TRUE, mode = "wb")
2: try(download.file(url = paste(repos, "PACKAGES.gz", sep = "/"), destfile
= tmpf, method = method, cacheOK = FALSE, quiet = TRUE, mode = "wb"),
silent = TRUE)
3: available.packages(contriburl = contriburl, method = method)
4: install.packages()
What am I doing wrong?
Matt
