[Swift-user] upgraded to error one

[Michael Wilde]

Erin, if the script never finishes, then thats something you and I 
should work on outside of the swift-user list, as the problem is in your 
R program, not in Swift. (Even if it came from the Swift apps CVS tree)

But when reporting things like this, additional info that is valuable 
(as well as a few things to try) is:

- how long did you let it run?  Minutes? longer?

- did you look at the process using ps while it was running? Was it 
consuming CPU time, or "frozen", waiting for something?

- what dataset was it reading? Is that dataset located through some 
other means? Is the script reading from a file or a database? If a 
database, can you get to it outside of R, eg with mysql?

How long is the dataset?  Did you try the program on a tiny fragment of 
the data?

I did not look at the script - presumably the answers are in the source 
code.

But unless Im missing something from earlier in this thread, this is a 
topic we should work on off of the swift-user list. (and Im happy to 
help with it)

- Mike
