Dear useRs, Today I've encountered a weird unexpected behaviour. It is not a real problem for me and I can workaround it. But I'm very curious of what could have caused it.
Starting an R session in a directory with an old .RData my first command was > library(MASS) and i got Errore in .Call("R_lazyLoadDBfetch", key, file, compressed, hook, PACKAGE = "base") : C symbol name "R_lazyLoadDBfetch" not in DLL for package "base" In this session the same error appear when I try a save.image() or simply answer "yes" when closing R (I can close only answering "no"). But I manage to view and work with the saved environment. The problem is strictly connected with *this* .RData file and other .RData files saved in the same period with the same version of R (2.1.1) work correctly. Now, the question. I'd like to look inside this file to search for differences with working ones, but from within R I cannot save an ascii version of this file due to this problem, and i do not know what kind of compression was applied (gunzip says «not in gzip format»). Is there a way of inspecting this file? thank you all for reading till now... -- Marco Barbàra - Undergraduate student in Statistics at the University of Palermo (Italy) - Only free (as in freedom) software user - Emacs lover ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
