I'm trying to see if I can help some Windows users, but in WinXP and Win7
virtual machines
and in a Win 7-64 real environment, after extracting the odfWeave examples.odt
from the
package and putting it in my working directory ("My Documents") where R can see
and unpack
it, I get "unable to convert 'examples.odt' to the current locale". I've tried
some
searches about UTF8 on Windows, which gave discouraging answers, and also the
Sweave
manual suggestions of different options(), e.g., I tried the suggestions
regarding
useFancyQuotes but without success.
Things work fine (of course!) in Linux of different flavours, so I suspect this
is a
general Win issue, and I'm hopeful there is a simple workaround.
The reproducible code is to source("tester.R") from R prompt or else
Rscript tester.R
where tester.R contains
library(odfWeave)
test<-odfWeave("examples.odt", "ex1out.odt")
and this gives the same message "unable to convert examples.odt in the current
locale".
For information, changing the file to "simple.odt" does work, at least on one
of my systems.
