[R-sig-Debian] R CMD BATCH: set locale?

[Mathieu Basille]

Hi Matthieu,

Based on your example, it looks like it's possible to have R CMD BATCH in 
English thanks to .Renviron (at least it works on my computer, which has a 
French Debian install). Here:

$ echo -e "\n### To get R in English:\nLANGUAGE=en" >> ~/.Renviron
$ echo "log(-2)" > file.R
$ R CMD BATCH file.R
$ more +/Warning file.Rout

… escamotage
 > log(-2)
[1] NaN
Warning message:
In log(-2) : NaNs produced
 >
 > proc.time()
    user  system elapsed
   0.160   0.004   0.160

Hope this helps!
Mathieu.
