Dear list, I installed R 3.3.2 on a Red Hat Linux Enterprise 7.3 machine by adding the EPEL-repository and then installing it via yum. R starts up and seems to be doing fine at first sight. However, when I try to list the files in a directory with the command
files <- list.files(path="/home/username/directory_name/", pattern="*.Rda",, full.names=T, recursive=FALSE) I get the error translateCharUTF8' must be called on a CHARSXP Execution halted On my local windows machine the command works fine. Googling this nothing really comes up except that the installation might be broken. (See http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/list-files-error-message-translateCharUTF8-must-be-called-on-a-CHARSXP-td3250302.html) The strange thing is, that if I copy and paste the command into R and execute it, it does not work, but if I copy and paste it into R and change that command in a way that should not change its result but only add spaces or something like that it might run. E.g. changing it to files <- list.files(path = "/home/username/directory_name/", pattern = "*.Rda",, full.names = T, recursive = FALSE) might work, might not work and return the same error, or might execute but when I then type "files" that might return [1]Error: 'getCharCE' must be called on a CHARSXP The sessionInfo commmand gives me: sessionInfo() R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.3 (Maipo) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base uname -mrs gives me: Linux 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 x86_64 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
