It's possible that the file http://factominer.free.fr/add-menu-facto-fr.txt that the FactoMineR script downloads is not read using the correct encoding (it is in CP2152), and thus contains invalid UTF-8 characters.
So indeed I would reinstall Rcmdr using install.packages("Rcmdr") and load Rcmdr separately using library(Rcmdr) If that works, the bug is in FactoMineR's nonstandard way of installing a menu. A workaround might be to use their English install script: source("http://factominer.free.fr/install-facto.r") Regards > I hope this helps, > John > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Susanne.Ettinger [mailto:susanne.ettin...@gmail.com] > > Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 11:44 AM > > To: John Fox > > Subject: Re: [R] [R-SIG-Mac] problem with the installation of r > > commander on a mac > > > > Dear John, > > > > thank you very much for your quick reply - I realize I sent this email > > to the list without being a member, but I am a very beginner and > > started this morning the installation process of R. > > > > I have been printing out any possibly available information on how to > > get started with R and I am following the exercices exposed in the book > > written by Cornillon et al.
