I have a large dataset that I am reading into R using read.table.  The first row contains the column names, and missing observations have the standard NA value.  When I try to run principal components with the default treatment of NA values (which is na.omit) I get the error message
"Error in cov.wt(z) : x must contain finite values only"
Is there some way out of this?  Thanks
