After the R-update to version 3.5.0 there seems to be a problem with our R-package ddalpha. As it seems that the problem is connected to the newly introduced byte-compilation on installation, we feel unable to locate its root cause and ask for your help.
During the byte-compilation of the package ddalpha (latest (CRAN) version 1.3.2), an immense amount of memory (more than 4Gb) is consumed. Further, byte-compilation takes at least several minutes to complete on Windows and MacOS, while it throws an error on the Linux system where it does not install at all: Error message: Error in system2(file.path(R.home("bin"), "R"), c(if (nzchar(arch)) paste0("--arch=", : cannot popen ' '/usr/lib64/R/bin/R' --no-save --slave 2>&1 < '/tmp/RtmpU4dXOt/file3fb5b89c507'', probable reason 'Cannot allocate memory' We suspect a mistake in the design of our package and would appreciate your advice. From our side, we are ready to undertake necessary actions as soon as possible.
