Either you have a corrupt .RData file in the directory you are starting R
in or the file is being read incorrectly (e.g. because of a corrupted file
system or hardware issues).
Reinstalling etc will not remove the .RData file, and you need to do so
yourself.
Starting R with --vanilla is always a good check for local configuration
issues.

Hello,
I'm having issues operating R under Ubuntu (Hardy 8.04) though I suspect
this is not necessarily the malady. I have attempted to run R in ubuntu
as is which worked for awhile and then stopped (using RKWard as the
windowing environment). I tried removing then re-installing the software
and the same issue (which i'll detail soon) persisted. I then tried using
WINE to run R using the Windows version of R. The same error was
presented.
The Ubuntu and WINE errors are slightly different but are more or less the
same...
COMMON ASPECT--I get the following:
Error in load(name, envir = .GlobalEnv):
value of 'SET_ATTRIB' must be a pairlist or NULL, not a 'double'
WINE Variant--I get a windowed box with the title "Information" noting
that "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData".
UBUNTU Variant--I get a segmentation fault statement and abort options.
I'm going to guess that this is the same issue. I would presume at this
point that either there is some mistaken setting within the operating
system OR something wrong with the hardware.
I appreciate any help on the matter.
