I forgot to add that I am compiling with R CMD SHLIB buggyCode.c --ggdb
thanks David Quoting pleyd...@supagro.inra.fr:
"Writing R Extensions" says {quotes} If you have a crash which gives a core dump you can use something like gdb /path/to/R/bin/exec/R core.12345 to examine the core dump. If core dumps are disabled... {unquotes} sadly it doesn't go on to say how to enable if core dumps are disabled. I understand that in bash I need to do $ ulimit -c unlimited but this doesn't seem to be enough, I still don't find a core file despite *** caught segfault *** address 0x20000028, cause 'memory not mapped' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace Selection: 1 I am running Ubuntu jaunty on a laptop. Any ideas as to what I might need to configure next? thanks David -- David Pleydell UMR BGPI CIRAD TA A-54/K Campus International de Baillarguet 34398 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 FRANCE Tel: +33 4 99 62 48 65 - Secrétariat : +33 4 99 62 48 21 Fax : +33 4 99 62 48 22 http://umr-bgpi.cirad.fr/trombinoscope/pleydell_d.htm https://sites.google.com/site/drjpleydell/
