Hi,

 

We recently switched from R2.7.0 to R2.8.1 but having problems tracking down this 'invalid multibyte character' encoding issue. Can someone point us how to solve this?

 

 

> sessionInfo()

R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22)

x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

 

locale:

LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C

 

attached base packages:

[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

> print("§")

Error: invalid multibyte character in parser at line 1

 

 

> sessionInfo()

R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22)

> print("§")

[1] "\xa7"

 

Thanks,
