I am trying out the Goddy cloud server with the following specific:
20GB No more than $5.00 /month ($0.0074 /hour) 512MB memory 1 core processor 20GB SSD disk 1TB transfer
However, when I install the shiny package, I got the following error message
g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
It turned out there was enough memory on the server. I was able to solve the problem by temporarily adding a larger swap file using the method discussed here: http://lacey.se/posts/compiling-dplyr-on-low-memory-vps/
To do it, use the following script
sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile sudo chmod 600 /swapfile sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile
Then, install the package using
CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 --param ggc-min-expand=0 --param ggc-min-heapsize=8192" sudo su - -c "R -e \"install.packages('shiny', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')\""
