After I installed R 2.9.0 my XML package cannot load; I get an error "This application has failed to start because iconv.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". I already re-installed both but the problem persists. Does anyone know what is going on? I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot -- ___________________________ Luís Orlindo Tedeschi mailto:luis.tedeschi@gmail.com ___________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

How did you install it? install.packages() should pick the right one. I guess you did it in another way, but you really should use the one mentioned above.

Thanks a lotI had this problem (after installing XML through install.packages() ) and worked around it by making a copy of Riconv.dll (in the R-2.9.0/biin directory) and naming it iconv.dll. The XML package seems to be working now, but I'd like to know if there's a better way. Ian Kennedy
