Hello,
I am using the latest version of R (2.9.2 GUI 1.29 Tiger build 32-
bit (5464)) and SPSS version 16.0. This is on a MacBook with OSX
Snow Leopard. I have a problem reading an SPSS-file in R.
I do as following:
require(foreign)
mydata <- read.spss("filename.sav",use.value.labels = TRUE,
to.data.frame = TRUE)
but I only get the answer:
re-encoding from latin9
Error in iconv(names(rval), cp, "") :
unsupported conversion from 'latin9' to ''
latin9 is not a supported alias on OS X, you may want to use the full
name of the encoding, i.e., reencode="ISO-8859-15" (if it is really
latin9).
[It probably needs to be fixed either in foreign (because it should
know better than to not use latin9) or in R (if we want to support the
latin9) ...]
Cheers,
Simon
Does anybody have an idea why this happens and also what I can do to
make things work as they should. I have no problem with my work
computer, that has Windows and SPSS version 15.0.
Many thanksJohan
