[R] [R 1.4] Cannot allocate vector of length 1073741824

[Luca.Toldo@merck.de]

dear All,
I am operating on an SGI machine with 16 GB memory, and I have unlimited
resource access.

However, when I run the following command

x<-matrix(NA,32768,32768)

I get the following error

Error in matrix(NA,32768,32768) : cannot allocate vector of length
1073741824

I have compiled R 1.4 myself, using the default ./configure option.
I have the feeling that perhaps I shall recompile it ...

any suggestion is welcome.

Regards and thanks
with compliments for keeping going the marvellous R system.

Luca
