[R-sig-Geo] RE rgdal: Memory error!

[Yong Li]

Hi All,

I ran the following code and got the below error:
"Error: cannot allocate vector of size 30.3 Mb".

Actually my laptop has 4096 MB ram, and I increased the limit already.
Pls advise any tips to let me pass through. 
I guess Dr Hengl experienced this before. 

Regards

Yong
