[R] source() fails in same directory as script: cannot find file

[Jeremie Juste]

Hello,

I suspect the error is in the file input-summerize.R.

I creating a new file input-summerize2.R with only print("hello") for
instance and check if 

> setwd("~/documents/white-papers/geochemistry/willamette-river-mercury/scripts")
> source("input-summerize2.R")

works

Hope it helps,

Jeremie
