I'm not looking for an answer here, this is just a report of a peculiar event I've observed and can reproduce.
I'm developing a g95 (20050129) compiled package on windows xp pro using R-2.1.1, and gcc-3.4.2 (mingw special). An older version of the F95 package compiled and ran without problems. The new version of the package includes extensive changes in the code. The package has a test function, rtest(), which sets up a testing scenario and runs it. If I try to immediately load the library after starting up R and running rtest(), the following occurs: > library("bpkg") .onLoad: running R_g95_init > o = rtest() Testing cm.estimate... Using short data set (testing)... 25500.0000000000 2499.00000000000 11.0000000000000 300.000000000000 ... 5 0.000000000000000 6 0.000000000000000 Operating system error: Not enough space Memory allocation failed (R exits in terminal, or freezes as GUI) However, if I import a data element the rtest runs fine. I know rtest() doesn't need the extra data import because it runs without problems on our OS X version. > library("bpkg") .onLoad: running R_g95_init > data(yij) > o = rtest() Testing cm.estimate... Using short data set (testing)... 25500.0000000000 2499.00000000000 11.0000000000000 300.000000000000 ... 6 0.000000000000000 Done > (R continues to run without problems) The default rtest runs a short data set because the full test data set takes about 30 seconds to compute. When I start off by running the full rtest data set I also don't have any problems with R. This package runs without problems on a G4/Tiger OS X mac with R-2.1.1, although we do compile it with gfortran on that platform. This is just a report. If anyone has any questions let me know.
