This is rather strange and I suspect is a Windows issue rather than an R
issue, but it does not
seem to be mentioned on the lists so I am logging it in case it gives
anyone else problems.
Running Vista Business Version 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002, with
the latest R 2.10.0 patched.
A normal 'R' gui process:
> p <- Sys.getenv("PATH")
> nchar(p)
PATH
1199
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.10.0 Patched (2009-11-23 r50548)
i386-pc-mingw32
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United Kingdom.1252
[2] LC_CTYPE=English_United Kingdom.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=English_United Kingdom.1252
[4] LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=English_United Kingdom.1252
attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base
Running R gui as administrator, however, the same path variable is
truncated:
> p <- Sys.getenv("PATH")
> nchar(p)
PATH
1024
> sessionInfo()
