I realize I am asking for instability using development versions, but thought I would mention that running an OpenMx model kills R.
Here is my system info:
R Under development (unstable) (2012-02-03 r58258)
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

other attached packages:

I did an svn -update today and then in OpenMx/trunk ran: make install
Is this expected? I am a little surprised that it would build and pass those checks successfully without being able to run even the examples. The only other idea I had is that it is a permissions issue. R has permission to write/modify somethings, but depending what OpenMx calls and whether it inherits from the parent Rterm, I could see issues arising. Is this expected?
When I get a chance, I will also try building on R 2.14.1 and a more recent version of R-devel (I'm a few weeks of revisions behind).
Printer-friendly version
Can we get a little more information, such as what script are you running (generate synthetic data if necessary so we can re-create the bug) and what output is produced during the crash. Also, try running the same script in R 2.14.1 and see if it crashes.
Sorry, I thought I had included the script. It is:
example(mxModel)
The build fails on R 2.14.1 (probably because the new version of R tools uses pre gcc 4.6.3 and moves its location, but here is the output from OpenMx/trunk/make install:

If I just use 32-bit R 2.14.1 and use your binaries, it installs and:
example(mxModel) works fine. Anyway, this is not a high priority per se, but it may be relevant for building and using on Windows 64 bit platforms.
In terms of output produced during the crash, I am not that good at debugging on Windows, but here is the call stack leading up to it from the crash dump:

Are people successfully building and running OpenMx on R-devel x64 on Windows? If no one is, I can try to learn more about using the Windows debugger to see if I can better trace the problem, but I'm the only one having problems, I would tend to think I screwed something up at the build stage and debugging the final crash may be an effort in futility.
Ah, OK. We don't have a 64-bit version of NPSOL for windows available (see FAQ). Try running the 32-bit R unstable version.
