Warning: system call failed: Cannot allocate memory while installing ‘shiny’ on R 3.1.2

Hello I was trying to use shiny package with R 3.1.2. But it seems that the package has not been update to cater to this new R version.

Does Anybody has suggestions? I was thinking about downgrade my R back to 3.1.1. I don't know if there's any better ideas than this one....

I guess you are trying to install Shiny on a Ubuntu server and the error is simply because server is out of memory. Please make sure you have enough memory before installing.

There is clearly something wrong at your end as many of us have shiny on current R installations:

R> R.version.string
[1] "R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31)"
R> packageDescription("shiny")[1:4]
$Package
[1] "shiny"

$Type
[1] "Package"

$Title
[1] "Web Application Framework for R"

$Version
[1] "0.11"

R>

But from the information you have provided we cannot deduce why you seem to be unable to install this (current) version of shiny in your current R version.
