[R] prcomp: error code 17 from Lapack routine dgesdd

[ryszard.czerminski@pharma.novartis.com]

I am trying to use prcomp and I am getting this error:

> p <- prcomp(xtr, retx = TRUE, center = TRUE, scale = TRUE, tol = NULL)
Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv, method) : error code 17 from Lapack routine 
dgesdd
> dim(xtr)
[1]  301 2439

Does it mean that the matrix is to big ?
