Err, what does this have to do with Jared's reply to Max's posting about
suitable textbooks and R?

Please don't jump on a thread to ask your own question. Start your own
thread.

If you want people to help you with your problem, you are probably going
to have to give a reproducible example - "my R session crashes" is way
below what is requested in the posting guide. Even the statements about
what you did are not enough - people need to be able to reproduce your
problem on their machines.

Read the posting guide (URL in the footer of this email) and resend a
message to the list - a new one mind, so you start a new thread. And
make sure you include a reproducible example. If you can't send your
data, try it with one of the data sets that come with quantreg and if it
fails with that also, use that data set in your example.

You should also consider contacting the maintainer of quantreg.
