Error: cannot allocate vector of size 17348.7 Gb

We need the part of the long output that says something like C:/rtools40/mingw_64/bin/g++ ....

Below is the whole thing. Rstudio prompted to install more things which I did. I also reinstalled Rtool40. Thanks!

Yes I noticed that so I reinstalled rtools40 again. Got the same error. Are you aware of any solution for this? Currently rtools40 is installed under C:/rtools40?

You may have some residuals of old Rtools left somewhere. Possible locations are you PATH and the .Rprofile file in your documents folder. I had a same problem at some point and removing traces from the old Rtools in these places helped.

Thanks for your tips.
For Path, the results are:
[1] “C:\rtools40\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\R\R-4.0.0\bin\x64;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Dell\Dell Data Protection\Encryption\;C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\;C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\ets\sasexe;C:\Program Files\SASHome\Secure\ccme4;C:\Program Files (x86)\Webex\Plugins;C:\Users\fur\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;”

  • Anything abnormal? ( I don’t see any but my knowledge on this is very limited.)

And I run “file.edit(”~/.Rprofile")" , the file is completely empty, maybe because I just re-installed everything? Is it the correct way to edit ~/.Rprofile?

Thanks!

Try to remove the rtools40 stuff from your PATH. If you followed the native install instructions or rtools, this shouldn’t be required.

I had issues with R using the old Rtools because I had set the BINPREF environment variable to the old installation.

If you call Sys.getenv("BINPREF") and the output isn’t "", then that could be the issue

The rtools40 instructions include: writeLines('PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\\usr\\bin;${PATH}"', con = "~/.Renviron")

I got the same ‘rtools has been deleted’ warning before I ran that.

I’d recommend just starting with a clean Renviron and Makevars.win, then run that line above, and see whether it works.

I had similar error messages after installing R 4.0. Installing Rcpp, RcppEigen and rstan together from source worked for me.
install.packages(c("Rcpp", "RcppEigen", "rstan"), type = "source")

Got this same issue and

Sys.getenv(“BINPREF”)
[1] “C:/Rtools/mingw_$(WIN)/bin/”

What should I do? Can you provide code to set the BINPREF environment variable to the new Rtools installation? Thanks so much!

In your R HOME directory (usually the Documents folder on Windows), you should have a .Rprofile file (you can check where this is using: file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), ".Rprofile")).

Open up that file with a text editor (like Notepad) and delete the line: Sys.setenv(BINPREF = "C:/Rtools/mingw_$(WIN)/bin/")

After that, restart R and run:

Sys.which("g++")

If that returns something with C:\\rtools40 at the start, you should be good to go

Hi all,

I had similar error after updating to R4.0. My model no longer run.

Turned out it was enough to remove compiled models and recompile with new RTools.

Hope someone will find this useful.

I had the same issue and had to go into my R library and uninstall Rcpp and reinstall both it and rstan. I’m wondering if I updating packages prior to installing updated rtools was the culprit.

Thanks for all of your help!

Yep, same here, reinstalling both rcpp and rstan did the trick.

I cannot solve this issue; I am running R version 4.0.4, Rtools 4.0, Rstudio 1.4.1106, on Windows 10 on a brand new laptop (first time installing R, Rtools, and Rstudio).

I thought that running:

install.packages(c(“Rcpp”, “RcppEigen”, “rstan”), type = “source”)

would do the trick, but Rcpp cannot install because:

error: C:/Users/ac22qawo/Documents/R/R-4.0.4/library/rstan/lib/x64/libStanServices.a: No such file or directory
no DLL was created

Also, running Sys.getenv(“BINPREF”) returns “”, and so does running Sys.which(“g++”).

This all started because when compiling a simple model of the mean to fit a dataset with a few data points, the output was:

Error: cannot allocate vector of size 15842.6 Gb
In addition: Warning message:
In system(paste(CXX, ARGS), ignore.stdout = TRUE, ignore.stderr = TRUE) :
‘C:/rtools40/usr/mingw_/bin/g++’ not found

Apologies: indeed, by correctly removing Rcpp from my machine, and by recompiling old STAN models, the trick worked!

thank you so much.
this solved my problem.

Having this same issue. When you all talk about “recompiling old STAN models” as a fix for the problem, do you mean rerun all the models which use the STAN script I am trying to run? Just confused about which STAN models rerun exactly.

Any Stan models which were compiled prior to R4.x, with the auto_write=TRUE setting will have created an .rds file in the same directory as the stan model with the pre-compiled model. If you delete these .rds files then the models will be re-compiled under the new RTools
