[R] Problems with Windows RGUI R-2.7.0 when PATH includes 'æ'
I have a subdirectory named 'Fælles Filer' in my PATH. When I start the RGUI, I receive the following error/warning messages: Error in Sys.setenv(PATH = PATH) : invalid input in wtransChar and Warning message: package "methods" in options("defaultPackages") was not found The problems disappear, when I change the the subdirectory name to its short version, 'FLLES~1' in the PATH specification in the Windows setup. regards Erik Jørgensen Faculty of Agricultural Sciences University of Aarhus, Denmark platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor 7.0 year 2008 month 04 day 22 svn rev 45424 language R version.string R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

[R] Problems with Windows RGUI R-2.7.0 when PATH includes 'æ'
Your email was not properly encoded by the time it reached me (see the ? in crucial places), so I may be missing something. I am guessing you are in a Danish locale with codepage CP1252, and fortunately the subject line appears to have worked. I think I have a reproduction test, in which case this will be fixed in R-patched shortly (but please test that for us). No one reported this in the alpha/beta/RC test period, and we do know that the Japanese did some testing of the new features. I guess that real testing started yesterday .... Thanks for the report -- if you find further misfeatures it would be helpful to have the locale and an email in a marked encoding.
