Dear R List,

today i have installed Ubuntu as i decided to give this a try after running R 
in windows was always running out of memory in making my figures. I have copied 
my working folders into Ubuntu and changed the WD and the \\ into /. I tried to 
re run the script and it was going all well till i tried to read a csv database 
into R.

Annot <- 
read.csv("~/Documents/DATABASES/Functional_Annotations/Salar_2_Annot_light.csv", 
header = TRUE)
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In 
file(file, "rt") : cannot open file 
'/home/cd46/Documents/DATABASES/Functional_Annotations/Salar_2_Annot_light.csv': No such file or 
directory

The code is right, and i checked it many times. I copied pasted in

setwd("~/Documents/DATABASES/Functional_Annotations")
and it works fine! The file is there too, i have checked and manually opened 
it. I know the message is telling me that he can't find the file or the 
directory but really, they are there and they are right (i think).

Can someone give me some suggestions? What could i try? Or even better maybe 
you have a solution.

Likely Ubuntu is treating the file system as case sensitive; Windows usually does not.

Another possibility is that you don't have read permission on the file.
