This reflects a problem in your locale (traditional Chinese): we cannot

the target when you start R).
Maybe I have found this as a bug in iconv. Please try a version of
R-patched with svn revision 46507 or later.
Unfortunately, something stopped the daily builds of R-patched on
Saturday, and I haven't been in to the office yet to fix things. So
it's likely to be tomorrow before the Windows build of r46507 or later
is available on CRAN.

Dear all,
I encountered a problem on starting and using the R v 2.7.2 installation
on
my PC running Windows Vista and would appreciate your help.
When R was first started, the Rgui returned several error messages:
Error in structure(.Internal(Sys.getenv(as.character(x),
as.character(unset)$ unsupported conversion
Error in file.exists(name) : unsupported conversion in 'filenameToWchar'
In addition, a dialog box called 'Information' popped up with the following
message:
Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData
On clicking 'OK', R closed immediately and the same thing occurs on
restarting R.
After checking for previous related messages online, I followed one of the
recommendations from before and appended --no-restore-data to the R shorcut
target line. After that, R could start without the 'fatal error'.
However,
some functions such as 'help' and 'setwd' do not work:
e.g. >help()
Error: could not find function "help"
setwd("DirName")
Error in setwd("DirName") : unsupported conversion in 'filenameToWchar'
I then typed 'Sys.getlocale()' and got this:
Sys.getlocale()
[1] "LC_COLLATE=Chinese (Traditional)_Hong Kong S.A.R..950;LC_CTYPE=Chinese
(Traditional)_Hong Kong S.A.R..950;LC_MONETARY=Chinese (Traditional)_Hong
Kong S.A.R..950;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Chinese (Traditional)_Hong Kong
S.A.R..950"
Setting LC_ALL=en in the shortcut target does not appear to work in this
case as I got
During startup - Warning message:
Setting LC_CTYPE=en failed
Furthermore, I tried the patched version of R 2.7.2 and the same problem
occurs.
I would be very grateful if anybody could help. Many thx.
Thomas
