Do you have a really good reason to be using 1.9.1. If not then just keep using 1.9.0. Did you check what changes were made in the 1.9 upgrade. Often you will find useful information about this type of issue in the change log. You have not told us anything about the machine you are using and this is important information when it comes to devices. I think you may be better off upgrading, I think 2.1 is due out shortly.

The message is quite explicit:> In addition: Warning message: problem loading encoding fileso it is to do with the encoding you requested. Check what it is, that the file exists and that it is readable to you. I suspect a permissions problem in your R installation or an incorrect setting of ps.options(). Your R is well out of date, and that message no longer exists in the R sources. Please read the R posting guide, use a current R, and tell us your OS etc. -- Brian D.
