[R] rJava: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

[Marc Seil]

Hy,

In my case I just invoked as root (on a linux box) the command R CMD
javareconf and checked if my system and root vm did match the version of
the user vm. After this the
command .jinit(parameters=c("-Xmx512m","-Xmx128m")) could be executed
without errors. I got this information from
http://www.rosuda.org/JGR/down.shtml

Hi,
Has anybody encountered the following problem?
TIA, Gregoire

> library(rJava)
> .jinit()
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread

This would not help:
> .jinit(parameters=c("-Xmx512m","-Xmx128m"))
