I am using xtable version 1.7-1 built for R 3.0.1 on: R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit)
Sometimes, not every time, when I load xtable or attempt to load the help, I get an error such as this "Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.9 Gb" (Stacktrace from recover() below). Other times, when loading packages that depend on xtable, I get an error such as this: Loading required namespace: xtable Error in assign(identifier, list(name, description, identifier, help, : lazy-load database 'P' is corrupt I have attempted to reinstall the package using install.packages("xtable", type="source"), but the error persists (and the xtable.rdb file is identical). I have also tried this on macs and gotten the same error. Thank you for any help. ------------- > ?xtable Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.9 Gb Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit 1: print("/usr/local/analytics/rlibs/xtable/help/xtable") 2: print.help_files_with_topic("/usr/local/analytics/rlibs/xtable/help/xtable" 3: tools::Rd2txt(.getHelpFile(file), out = tempfile("Rtxt"), package = pkgname 4: prepare_Rd(Rd, defines = defines, stages = stages, fragment = fragment, ... 5: .getHelpFile(file) 6: tools:::fetchRdDB(RdDB, basename(file)) 7: lazyLoadDBexec(filebase, fun) 8: fun(environment()) 9: fetch(key) ______________________________________________ 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.
