> Hi,

> yesterday i had the surprise not to be able to load the package "ca" on R 2.7.0 saying that cannot find required package rgl although it was there. So today i've upgraded to 7.2.1. patched and i got the following error:
>
>> local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE)))
> + if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
> Loading required package: rgl
> Error : cannot allocate vector of size 2.0 Gb
> Error: package 'rgl' could not be loaded
>
> I've "up-ed" the memory to max which is 4 Gb for my computer and tried again ... same result. I know how to install packages and load them .... or at least i thought so. Do you know what is wrong??
