Hello R-users

I am getting error messagens when I require some packages or execute some procedures, like these below:

> require(tseries)
Loading required package: tseries
Error in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) : 
  cannot allocate memory block of size 2.7 Gb

> require (TSA)
Loading required package: TSA
Loading required package: locfit
Error in get(Info[i, 1], envir = env) : 
  cannot allocate memory block of size 2.7 Gb
Failed with error:  ‘package ‘locfit’ could not be loaded’

I used the commands memory.limit() and memory.size() to check memory limitation, but I could not see any problem. I send also sessionInfo() data. I have run the same script and different computers with less memory capacity, so it seems to me that it is not a real memory problem.

> memory.limit()
[1] 6004
> memory.size()
[1] 1361.88

> sessionInfo()

[1] grid_2.15.2      quadprog_1.5-4   stabledist_0.6-5 tools_2.15.2

Please, someone can help me understand that is happening and what should I do to fix it?
