----- Hello, This simple SVD calculation (commands are copied immediately below) crashes on my Ubuntu machine (R 2.13.0). However it works fine on my Windows 7 machine, so I suspect there's a problem with (my?) Ubuntu and / or R. Can anybody else reproduce it (with Ubuntu 11.04)? Thanks in advance. p <- 500 n <- 300 set.seed(1234) x <- matrix(rnorm(n*p), n, p) sih <- var(x) b <- svd(sih) produces: *** caught illegal operation *** address 0x42b8c9, cause 'illegal operand' Traceback: 1: .Call("La_svd", jobu, jobv, x, double(min(n, p)), u, v, "dgsedd", PACKAGE = "base") 2: La.svd(x, nu, nv) 3: svd(sih) I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and > version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 13.0 year 2011 month 04 day 13 svn rev 55427 language R version.string R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) Thanks, Matias ______________________________________________ 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.
