Here is the exact error I got
----------------------
Read 73 items
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1953 Kb
Execution halted
-----------------------
I am running R on Freebsd 4.3
with double CPU and 2 GB memory
Is that sufficient?

hw.model: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron
hw.ncpu: 2
hw.byteorder: 1234
hw.physmem: 2144411648
hw.usermem: 2009980928

thanks for your advice in advance,


Yun-Fang
