Hi Fabio,
I got the same message several months ago. With my data set, 151 specimens and 415 (semi)landmarks in 3d, I never had a problem while using procgpa from the library shapes. But when I started to analyze just a subset of the data, let say 200 (semi)landmarks, I got this message. So I subdivided my sample by the half, one half worked the other not. So I tried to find out what was wrong with this second half. I did several GPA with this wrong subsample minus 1 specimen. After several GPA impossible to run untill the end with the same error mesage, there was one GPA completed. I checked out the specimen I erased from that GPA and this specimen had one pair of landmarks inverted. So your problem might be similar, two landmarks can be inverted in one specimen of your sample.
I hope that will help you.
Cheers,
Michael

Hi to all,

I'm having some problems when I try to perform a GPA on a particularly
large dataset with the package shapes [ R ]. The error msg is:

Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv) : error code 1 from Lapack routine 'dgesdd'

I have 495 shapes with 68 2d landmarks. I've tried to make some subsets and to remove some landmarks to identify the problem. The problem seems to correlate with the size of the dataset, but I have already used the same script on a larger dataset and got no errors. I was also able to perform multiples GPAs on smaller samples within the full set and, again, got no errors.

A quick search on the web showed that other people had similar problems while trying to perform a svd and also asked if it was related to the size of the dataset, but I found no solutions.

If anyone have any idea how to solve this, I would appreciate the help.

cheers,

Fábio de A. Machado
