[R] increase the default memory for R

[salvatore barbaro]

Dear In-Sun,

how to solve your problem depends on the system you are 
working. If you are starting R via UNIX, you should call R with
	R --vsize=500M --nsize=20000k
(500 and 20000 are only examples)

If you are using R via Windows, try go on the R-icon on your 
desktop and use the right mouse botton. Select "properties" and in 
the field "target" instead of 
C:\Programme\R\rw1051\bin\Rgui.exe
(path is also an example)
consider
C:\Programme\R\rw1051\bin\Rgui.exe --max-mem-size=512M
(whereby 512 is also an example)

Best regards

yours

s.

Dear All,

I have encountered an error while using nlme that states

Error: cannot allocate vector of size 16535 kb
In addition: Warning message:
Reached totol allocation of 63Mb: see help(memory.size).

So I was trying to modify "the default memory available for data
storage" by launching R from command line, but I do not quite
understand how I should set the relevant values, supposed to be 
using
gc() and memory.size().

Any help will be very much appreciated...

Many thanks,
In-Sun
