Hi there! This is my second message in two weeks. I am regretting to get ride of my R-1.4.1! In fact, since I upgraded to R-1.8.1 (directly from R-1.4.1) and then to R-1.9.0 I am experiencing diffulties I never faced before. Professor Ripley and Dr. Murdoch had helped with the "Fatal Error. HOMEDRIVE." Another problem I am now facing is that R is not reading any matrix if I do not specify as.numer(). For instance, if I want to operate on matrix M I need to write operation_intended(as.numeric(M)) otherwise I got the following message "Error in as.double.default(): object cannot be coerced to double." I would appreciate your help to fix either the as.double.default() error or the "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." encountered when running R-1.8.1 so that I can stay with this version I successfully used for while. Best regards, Alain

We do not know what kind of object "M" is - and what is its mode? Hence we cannot help here....> I would appreciate your help to fix either the as.double.default() error or > the "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to > close.

HOMEDRIVE.", just producing another kind of error. The same workaround applies here as well.

Do you read the matrix from file or generate it? What is typical elements of 'M' for you? Try str(M). BTW, I would say that the stability of R is improving all the time and I would not recommend to stay with R v1.4.1, but you might be right that you experience extra difficulties because haven't updated in two years and small changes have been made at each new version. R v1.9.0 works perfectly fine for me on WinXP Pro.> Best regards, > AlainCheers Henrik Bengtsson
