[R] memory

[Geert Aarts]

Dear List

I would like to apply kriging (using sgeostat or fields package)
The result I got is as follows:

>Error: Cannot allocate vector of size 41148 Kb
>In addition: Warning Message:
>Reached total allocation of 255 Mb. See help(memory)

>memory.size(max=TRUE)
250,834,944

>memory.size()
95,052,192

In other words. R should be able to allocate the vector of 41Mb!!!!
What is the problem?
I read the documentation concerning memory, the CHANGES file and the
R-mailing list.

In addition to the problem mentioned above, I'm not able to apply the
function:

> --min-vsize=vl --max-vsize=vu --min-nsize=nl --max-nsize=nu

Can anybody explain what is happening and how to implement the function to
change the maximum memory allocation?
