Laboratoire ICAR » Plateforme TXM

R seems to be working (the start-up message is normal), but commands using R don't work.

Logs show that the setwd R command is failing when the user home path contains accented characters.

Solution 1 (temporary)¶

Change TXM user home path to a path without accents.

Diagnostic¶

check if the "--encoding utf8" R launch parameter is working correctly.

The Man page says:

--encoding=ENC
              Specify encoding to be used for stdin

       --encoding ENC

We use "--encoding utf8".

Solution 2 (definitive)¶

On Windows, the "--encoding utf8" option is not sufficient for setwd to work, we must also tel Rserve the UTF8 encoding for input/output (see RConnect()).
