Hi, can you please give a reproducible example and what's your sessionInfo()?
Many years ago when I started to develop the Object class in R.oo, which is using environments, I also had problems saving environments directly. I my case I think it was when I added a class attribute to an environment, but I don't remember the details [theys are somewhere in the R-devel archives]. I never understood why it didn't work. What solved my problem was to put the environment as a element of something before save, e.g. in a list or as an attribute. So try this: env <- new.env(); ... x <- list(env=env); save("x", file="x.RData"); It might help /Henrik On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 4:41 AM, Benjamin Otto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > When I create an environment object with new.env() and populate it with > values then how can I save it into an .RData file properly, so it can be > loaded later on in a new session? > > Saving an environment object with save() or save.image() results in an error > message when loading again: > > Error: protect(): protection stack overflow > > Regards, > > benjamin > > ====================================== > Benjamin Otto > University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf > Institute For Clinical Chemistry > Martinistr. 52 > D-20246 Hamburg > > Tel.: +49 40 42803 1908 > Fax.: +49 40 42803 4971 > ====================================== > > > > -- > Pflichtangaben gemäß Gesetz über elektronische Handelsregister und > Genossenschaftsregister sowie das Unternehmensregister (EHUG): > > Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf > Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts > Gerichtsstand: Hamburg > > Vorstandsmitglieder: > Prof. Dr. Jörg F.
