[BioC] Rgraphviz: cannot allocate memory block of size 3.4 Gb

[Matthew Pettis]

Hi,

I installed graphviz from the directions given at:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/Rgraphviz.html

which is just to execute these two statements:
==============================================================
source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("Rgraphviz")
==============================================================

However, I am not able to load the library due to the error below.
But it seems a strange error... why should this package be trying to
allocate 3.4Gb of memory?

I am running:

R: 2.12.2
Graphviz: 2.26.3


Thanks for any help.
Matt


Here is the R console output for the getting of the package and trying
to load the library:


This is the output to the R console:
