Dear Kasper:

Thank you very much for your response.

When I took a look at #env, my LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Actually, I can read these files on the same machine in R1.8.0 environment.
But in R2.2.0, I got the following locale error.

The following is the header part of my gpr file:

Guess: you are reading in a textfile which contains non-standard  
characters, eg. special letters etc. You are currently operating in a  
local which does not support this particular character, so either  
change the locale or change the file. I see you are based in the US,  
so I am a bit surprised that you are having problems with this.

Do a
# env
from the shell to get a list of variables, I think the locale one is  
called
  LANG
(if you have variables such as LC_**** they override the LANG settings).

However, I would change the file. Further debugging requires a look  
at the header of the file.
