[R-sig-Geo] problems with read.geoda

[Roger Bivand]

Please do not post HTML - I explained yesterday how to avoid this 
nuisance.

Just use read.csv() or read.csv2() - read.geoda is only a wrapper, so if 
your CSV uses ";" instead of "," failure will follow for obvious reasons. 
Open the CSV in a text editor to see what it actually looks like, or say 
file.show() in R for a text display. I guess that from your ss name (but 
no affiliation), that you are in a German language locale, which may 
trigger spreadsheets to use ";" - for which read.csv2() is a better 
choice. The author of read.geoda, Luc Anselin, works in an English locale, 
so commas are good there, but not necessarily everywhere.

You haven't included any sample code, not the output of sessionInfo() - 
which shows your locale.
