[Rd] Error in Windows Vista, saving workspace...

2007-10-12 Thread Filipe Santos
Dear all...

I'm using R 2.6.0 in windows Vista. And I got the following error:

> quit()
Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: y
Error in gzfile(file,"wb"): unable to open connection
In addiction: Warning message:
In gzfile(file, "wb") : cannot open compressed file '.RDataTmp'

This happens in both in RGui and Rterm

Thanks,
Filipe Santos

Do you have write permissions in the current working directory? I guess not.

I just did a standard installation of R in my computer.

What I was trying here is to call attention that Windows Vista doesn't allow 
normal users to write on the R default installation directory. Instead, the 
information about configuration files ( and in this case .RDataTmp ) 
shouldn't they be stored in Username/AppData/Local ?

It does if the user installs R.  Note the advice in the rw-FAQ to set up 
a shortcut with an appropriate working directory, which it seems you did 
not do.

There is nothing new about Vista here: all NT-based versions of Windows 
did the same thing.
