[R] Cannot load irr package

[Phil Spector]

Rick -
   You didn't say what operating system you're using, but I suppose
that it's UNIX-based, because you're using the tar.gz files.
   If this is the case, the problem can be resolved by setting the
environmental variable LANG to an empty string.  If you're currently
just typing "R" at the shell prompt, try

env LANG= R

(notice that you're setting LANG to an empty string, not to  "R").
If you have access to the script that's invoked when you type R, you
could set the environmental variable there to make the change permanent.
