Thanks for your reply Ista and Duncan,
i solved the issue and you were both right. Ista, my file was spelled
with a capital L (as in "Light") and it wasn't recognized. However,
this was never a problem in windows as Duncan pointed out. You live
and learn. :-)
I would just like to point out that it *was* a problem in Windoze, and
is *not* a problem in Ubuntu. One *wants* names/words to be case
sensitive; that's why we have cases!
If you are used to an OS that does things wrong, then it takes a while
to adjust to one that does things right, but doing it right is still the
right thing to do.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
Thanks very much,
Christian

Dear R List,
today i have installed Ubuntu as i decided to give this a try after running R
in windows was always running out of memory in making my figures. I have copied
my working folders into Ubuntu and changed the WD and the \\ into /. I tried to
re run the script and it was going all well till i tried to read a csv database
into R.
Annot <-
read.csv("~/Documents/DATABASES/Functional_Annotations/Salar_2_Annot_light.csv",
header = TRUE)
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In
file(file, "rt") : cannot open file
'/home/cd46/Documents/DATABASES/Functional_Annotations/Salar_2_Annot_light.csv': No such file or
directory
The code is right, and i checked it many times. I copied pasted in
setwd("~/Documents/DATABASES/Functional_Annotations")
and it works fine! The file is there too, i have checked and manually opened
it. I know the message is telling me that he can't find the file or the
directory but really, they are there and they are right (i think).
Can someone give me some suggestions? What could i try? Or even better maybe
you have a solution.
Likely Ubuntu is treating the file system as case sensitive; Windows
usually does not.
Another possibility is that you don't have read permission on the file.
