[R] problem with pca

[Stephane DRAY]

Hello,
if you want some help, you have to be more precise ! What is the error 
message, could you give an example ?
read the posting guide at http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html (I am 
not sure that this question is devoted to R-help, it would be perhaps 
better to ask your question to the maintainer of the package)
I suspect that some of your variables are factor and not numeric. Did you 
code presence-absence as numeric (binary) variables or as factor ?
If you consider both quantitative and qualitative variables, have a look at 
dudi.mix and dudi.hillsmith.

But as you are not precise, you can not receive precise answers.

Sincerely,

If you have
