Subject: [ADMB Users] running admb from R using system()<br>
<br>
Hi<br>
<br>
I'm trying to run an admb model from R by using the system () command.<br>
The admb model runs fine when running it from the admb command line or<br>
when using emacs. However when I try it with system() then R crashes<br>
every time.<br>
And I tried using the R command line and RGui and in both it crashes. I<br>
also tried it from different computers.<br>
<br>
What I do is I first set the directory where I keep the admb template<br>
file with the corresponding admb data file and then invoke the system<br>
command either step by step or directly. I can build the model but when<br>
executing the model.exe file R crashes.<br>
<br>
##########################<br>
#setting the working directory<br>
setwd("Documents and Settings\\Beni User\\Desktop\\Transfer\\Model<br>
Fournier\\admb models\\simulated data\\stochastic\\pooled age classes")<br>
<br>
#building the model -> this works fine<br>
system('makeadm stocpool')<br>
<br>
#running the model -> makes R crash<br>
system('stoc.exe')<br>
###########################<br>
#or directly like this:<br>
setwd("Documents and Settings\\Beni User\\Desktop\\Transfer\\Model<br>
Fournier\\admb models\\simulated data\\stochastic\\pooled age classes")<br>
system("./stocpool") -> makes R crash right away<br>
<br>
<br>
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can make this work?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for the help!!<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
<br>
