Hello Marc,
I think I am quite a dunce!
I have diff.exe in the folder C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin, which is where
the R.exe file is located.
I ran the following from the command line:
diff C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout.save> diff.txt
Error: unexpected symbol in "diff C"
I tried again with quotes around the file names:
diff 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout' 'C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout.save'> diff.txt
Error: unexpected string constant in "diff 'C:/Program
Files/R/R-2.13.0/tests/eval-etc.Rout'"
No, you need to run it in the Windows command line rather than in R.
There you can also cd to the tests directory and ask R to
R CMD Rdiff eval-etc.Rout eval-etc.Rout.save

Cody,
The 'diff' program should be installed with Duncan's RTools
package on Windows and if in your path, should be usable via
the CLI.
From a Windows console command line, in the folder where
the output files in question are located, use:
diff eval-etc.Rout eval-etc.Rout.save> diff.txt
That will generate the file diff.txt, which will contain
the line by line differences in the two files, which you can
post back for review.
There is also this post from Prof. Ripley from last year:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2010-May/237922.html
which may perhaps be helpful for Uwe in considering other
possible solutions if locale is relevant here.
HTH,
Marc Schwartz

Hi Uwe,
Thank you for taking the time to look into
this!
I created the function my.test by modifying
testInstalledBasic with the line change you list
below and
then ran:
Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE="C")
my.test('basic')
I get the same error message as before:
my.test('basic')
running strict specific tests
running code in
‘eval-etc.R’
comparing
‘eval-etc.Rout’ to
‘eval-etc.Rout.save’ ...[1] 1
But we really need your diffs!
