Hi there, I just installed R 2.11.1 on my PC, which runs a Windows XP Home. The installation is successful, however, when I double click on the R icon, I get the following error message: R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Error signature is: AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.111.52157.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 0000d2b5 I get a gdb, and then gdb the Rgui.exe, I get the following message: (gdb) run Starting program: D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin/Rgui.exe [New Thread 2460.0xb7c] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x77c1d2b5 in msvcrt!mblen () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll (gdb) bt #0 0x77c1d2b5 in msvcrt!mblen () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll #1 0x77c1d3a9 in msvcrt!mbstowcs () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll #2 0x635597f9 in GA_newwindow () from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\Rgraphapp.dll #3 0x63543a25 in GA_newcontrol () from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\Rgraphapp.dll #4 0x63543c3f in GA_newimagebutton () from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\Rgraphapp.dll #5 0x6c723d7e in setupui () from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\R.dll #6 0x004014e2 in ??

I don't know it's a bug of Rgui or a bug of my system. Thanks for any help. Regards, Jinsong

It happened after a call from one of the R dlls, setting up the GUI. I don't really know what to suggest to fix this, other than the usual things: try running R with the --vanilla command line argument, try shutting down everything else on your system, etc. Duncan Murdoch> Error signature is: > AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.111.52157.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll > ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 0000d2b5 > > I get a gdb, and then gdb the Rgui.exe, I get the following message: > > (gdb) run > Starting program: D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin/Rgui.exe > [New Thread 2460.0xb7c] > > Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. > 0x77c1d2b5 in msvcrt!mblen () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll > (gdb) bt > #0 0x77c1d2b5 in msvcrt!mblen () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll > #1 0x77c1d3a9 in msvcrt!mbstowcs () from C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll > #2 0x635597f9 in GA_newwindow () > from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\Rgraphapp.dll > #3 0x63543a25 in GA_newcontrol () > from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\Rgraphapp.dll > #4 0x63543c3f in GA_newimagebutton () > from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\Rgraphapp.dll > #5 0x6c723d7e in setupui () from D:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin\R.dll > #6 0x004014e2 in ??

It seems a problem with the Regional and Language setting in my XP Home system. Now the problem solved. Regards, Jinsong
