I'm developing an R package, and when I recompile (using Roxygen), detach, and re-load the package, I can't seem to look at some of its documented functions. When I try '?function.name', I get the following error:
Error in tools:::fetchRdDB(RdDB, basename(file)) : cannot allocate memory block of size 2.6 Gb I'm using R.app's built-in documentation viewer. I don't get the same error when I look at the docs for built-in functions, e.g. '?cos' works fine. Most of the .Rd files spit out by Roxygen are very simple, e.g. here's one that fails to be viewed, it has only 4 lines: in man/ndcg.Rd: \name{ndcg} \alias{ndcg} \title{ndcg} \usage{ndcg(pr, position=5, ...)} Anyone have any thoughts? Here's my R.version: _ platform i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 arch i386 os darwin9.8.0 system i386, darwin9.8.0 status major 2 minor 11.1 year 2010 month 05 day 31 svn rev 52157 language R version.string R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) Thanks. -Ken ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
