[R] Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData
Hello, I am unable to start an R session by double-clicking on an existing .RData file from the Windoze file explorer. A dialogue appears with the message "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData", and I notice in the R Console the last few lines are: "Loading required package: R2HTML NULL error in function () : unused argument(s) (1:43)" I tried starting a fresh R session, changing the working directory, saving a new empty workspace, closing R, and restarting with the new (empty) .RData file to the same effect. I tried with the --vanilla option, changing the working directory and loading the existing workspace, and get the error message: "Error in function () : unused argument(s) (1:43)" And again with the --no-restore-data option, same effect. Suggestions? Thanx, DaveT. ### # system info:> sessionInfo() ; cat("\n") ; Sys.info()[c(1:3,5)]R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=English_Canada.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_Canada.1252;LC_MONETARYEnglish_Canada.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_Canada.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices datasets tcltk utils methods base other attached packages: [1] debug_1.1.0 mvbutils_1.1.1 lattice_0.17-14 plotrix_2.4-7 svSocket_0.9-5 TinnR_1.0.2 R2HTML_1.59 Hmisc_3.4-3 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] cluster_1.11.11 grid_2.7.2 svMisc_0.9-5 tools_2.7.2 sysname release version machine "Windows" "XP" "build 2600, Service Pack 2" "x86" # system info: ### ************************************* Silviculture Data Analyst Ontario Forest Research Institute Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources david.john.thompson at ontario.ca http://ontario.ca/ofri

[R] Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData
Hello,
I may have found the problem, although I don't understand it.
When I commented out the following line in my Rprofile.site file the
problem _seemed_ to disappear.
# ans as shorthand for .Last.value
# makeActiveBinding("ans", function() .Last.value, .GlobalEnv)
I decided to do this after reading the help for bindenv {base} and the
phrase ". . . experimental interface . . ." JUMPED right out at me.
Again, I don't know if this was _actually_ the cause of my problem but,
I am underway again.
Thanx, DaveT.>-----Original Message-----

[R] Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData
If you are able to create a .Rdata file for which this fails can you record the last few commands before you create the .Rdata file? luke On Fri, 10 Oct 2008, Thompson, David (MNR) wrote:> Hello, > > I am unable to start an R session by double-clicking on an existing > .RData file from the Windoze file explorer. > A dialogue appears with the message > "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData", > > and I notice in the R Console the last few lines are: > "Loading required package: R2HTML > NULL > error in function () : unused argument(s) (1:43)" > > I tried starting a fresh R session, changing the working directory, > saving a new empty workspace, closing R, and restarting with the new > (empty) .RData file to the same effect. > > I tried with the --vanilla option, changing the working directory and > loading the existing workspace, and get the error message: > "Error in function () : unused argument(s) (1:43)" > > And again with the --no-restore-data option, same effect. > > Suggestions? > Thanx, DaveT. > ### > # system info: >> sessionInfo() ; cat("\n") ; Sys.info()[c(1:3,5)] > R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25) > i386-pc-mingw32 > > locale: > LC_COLLATE=English_Canada.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_Canada.1252;LC_MONETARY> English_Canada.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_Canada.1252 > > attached base packages: > [1] stats graphics grDevices datasets tcltk utils methods > base > > other attached packages: > [1] debug_1.1.0 mvbutils_1.1.1 lattice_0.17-14 plotrix_2.4-7 > svSocket_0.9-5 TinnR_1.0.2 R2HTML_1.59 Hmisc_3.4-3 > > loaded via a namespace (and not attached): > [1] cluster_1.11.11 grid_2.7.2 svMisc_0.9-5 tools_2.7.2 > > sysname release version > machine > "Windows" "XP" "build 2600, Service Pack 2" > "x86" > # system info: > ### > ************************************* > Silviculture Data Analyst > Ontario Forest Research Institute > Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources > david.john.thompson at ontario.ca > http://ontario.ca/ofri > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Luke Tierney Chair, Statistics and Actuarial Science Ralph E.
