[R] Erro: cannot allocate vector of size 216.0 Mb

[Uwe Ligges]

Several questions:

- Before we go ahead: Are you sure 3 Gb are sufficient for your problem?
- Which OS (I guess Windows)?
- Which version of R (let's assume R-2.7.1)?
- Is your Windows 3GB enabled in the boot flags, or is it a 64-bit 
version of Windows?


Best wishes,
Uwe Ligges
