First, use "locale" to check that the above is the full story. For finding the right locale, try starting R with, e.g. LANG=en_US.utf8 R or, for a more scientific approach, find your system locale database, usually /usr/share/locale, and look for a suitable name: pd$ ls -ld /usr/share/locale/en_US* drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Sep 25 2010 /usr/share/locale/en_US drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Sep 25 2010 /usr/share/locale/en_US.ISO8859-1 drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Sep 25 2010 /usr/share/locale/en_US.ISO8859-15 drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Sep 25 2010 /usr/share/locale/en_US.US-ASCII drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Sep 25 2010 /usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8 so on a Mac like mine, en_US.UTF-8 should do just fine, but if you see .utf8, .UTF8, .utf-8, you'll have to adjust LANG accordingly. For a permanent fix, edit the appropriate startup file for your shell, probably .profile, cor maybe .bash_profile or .bashrc. -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: [email protected] Priv: [email protected] ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
