Hi
I would like to change the locale when using R CMD BATCH. Usually, if I
want to run it in english, for R in console/GUIs, I edit the .Rprofile
file, adding:
Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","en_US.UTF8")
Sys.setlocale("LC_MESSAGES","en_US.UTF8")
But while this works for interactive R, it does not for R CMD BATCH. The
problem is that running tests for a package, these are run in a non-english
locale, but R CMD check runs them in english locale, giving me messages
about mismatches between *.R and *.Rout.save like:
< Warning messages:
---> Messages d'avis :
Does anyone know how to specify the locale for R CMD BATCH? Is'nt it
supposed to read the .Rprofile? It seems R CMD BATCH should, given that
there is the option not to read it... (cf. --no-init-file)
Thanks!

Hi, how about export LC_ALL=C Sidenote: Maybe more a question for r-help as it is not Debian specific?

Hi Thanks for your help! I tried the solution export LC_ALL=C but it does not change the behaviour, see: $ export LC_ALL=C $ more file.R log(-2) $ R CMD BATCH file.R $ more +19 file.Rout> log(-2)[1] NaN Message d'avis : In log(-2) : production de NaN Any idea on how to do? Not sure what you meant by changing the linux LOCAL environment? Would that be a global change affecting other software/systems? Maybe my question could be asked on the general help list, although this concerns specifically the R setting on Debian/Ubuntu! So hope you will be indulgent with this :-) Thanks!
