R help - Jun 2011 - testInstalledBasic

Hello,

I installed R 2.13.0 on a Windows 2003 server.? I downloaded the Rtools213.exe
from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and placed it in the path
(C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin).

I submitted the following code:

library(tools)
Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE=C)
testInstalledBasic('basic')

I get the following message in the R Console, which I believe corresponds to a
failure of the test:
> library(tools)
> Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE=C)
> testInstalledBasic('basic')
running strict specific tests
? running code in ?eval-etc.R?
? comparing ?eval-etc.Rout? to ?eval-etc.Rout.save? ...[1] 1

Is there something wrong with my install?

Regards,
???-Cody

I took a closer look and your problem is that you want

Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE="C")

rather than

Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE=C)

since C is a function but "C" the character you actually want to set.




Anyway, there is a bug in ./src/library/tools/R/testing.R (e.g. for 
today's R-devel):

The line

     tests3 <- c("reg-tests-1", "reg-tests-2",
"reg-IO", "reg-IO2",
"reg-S4")

needs to be replaced by

     tests3 <- c("reg-tests-1a", "reg-tests-1b",
"reg-tests-2",
"reg-IO", "reg-IO2", "reg-S4")

Any R core member around to fix this?


Best,
Uwe Ligges
