Dear developers,
while our package TripleR (hosted on R-Forge) builds well on Mac and Linux, the
Windows build shows following error
(http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=418&log=build_win32&pkg=TripleR&flavor=patched):
Fri Feb 26 00:53:38 2010: Building binary for package TripleR (SVN revision NA)

Error : unable to re-encode 'RR.r'
I found the piece of code producing the error in the function
.install_package_code_files in the file src/library/tools/R/admin.R:
## assume that if locale is 'C' we can used 8-bit encodings unchanged.
if(need_enc && !(Sys.getlocale("LC_CTYPE") %in% c("C", "POSIX"))) {
con <- file(outFile, "a")
on.exit(close(con)) # Windows does not like files left open
for(f in codeFiles) {
tmp <- iconv(readLines(f, warn = FALSE), from = enc, to = "")
if(any(is.na(tmp)))
stop(gettextf("unable to re-encode '%s'", basename(f)),
domain = NA, call. = FALSE)
However, I don't really know what that means.
I already tried to encode the source file both in UTF-8 and in latin-1, but
neither worked.
Did anyone encounter the same problem / any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!
Felix
