[R] testInstalledBasic / testInstalledPackages

[Trina Patel]

Hi Marc,

Thank you for the links to all the resources, I will be sure to review
them in detail.

As for running,
Sys.setenv(LC_COLLATE = "C", LANGUAGE = "en")

I'm sorry that I forgot to mention that I did set the above
enviornmental variables as specified. Both within R, as suggested in
your email, and also by adding them as system enviornmental variables
(as required on our Windows 2008 Server environment).


Thanks again,
Trina Patel
