R help - Jul 2018 - Where does ' Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" ' come from? 2

Hi,

I am fighting to get rid of the messages like:

During startup - Warning messages:
Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C"
Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C"

This is annoying, because when building a package using R CMD, This 
message keeps cropping up.

Here my R:
Sys.getlocale()
[1] "C"
...................

Executing

     Open Terminal
     Write or paste in: defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG 
en_US.UTF-8
     Close Terminal
     Start R

as suggested on the Net, did not help :-(

Pointers are welcome
C.

I an sorry that I cannot answer your question, but you don't seem to be very
effective in your use of this resource.

While sometimes you might get responses to this kind of question here, you
really ought to read the Posting Guide:

"Questions likely to prompt discussion unintelligible to non-programmers
should rather go to R-devel than R-help. Questions about?package development,
however, e.g., passing?R CMD check?should go to R-package-devel rather than
R-devel." You might also consider R-sig-mac... this might be related to
your development environment.

... and re starting a new thread with exactly the same question is poor
nettiquette in any forum. Reply-all to previous messages on the same topic to
maintain the subject thread.

Oh, and offering "the net" as a reference source is a joke in poor
taste... that was from the R for Mac OS FAQ which is another clue that your
problem might need more specialized help.
