Dear useRs,
When I executed help.search(), I got nothing other than the following
warning message.
R> help.search("print")
Error in help.search("print") :
(converted from warning) removing all entries with invalid multi-
byte character data
I am using Leopard 10.5.4 and R-2.7.1.
How to solve the above problem?
Best,
Dong-hyun Oh

But why did you convert a warning to an error? There are some (CRAN and other) packages which do not have correct declarations for their encoding, and this causes such warnings. -- Brian D.
