The problem appears to be that you are in a UTF-8 locale and one of your packages is not written in UTF-8.

This exact problem is solved in R-patched, but some parts of help.start() will not work correctly with those packages.

I just install the new R version 2.1.0 in a

I get this error when I call the function

Making links in per-session dir ...
Error in gsub(pattern, replacement, x, ignore.case, extended, fixed) :
       input string 28 is invalid in this locale

What am I missing? (It works fine with version 2.0.1)

Well, UTF-8 locales did not `work fine' in 2.0.1.
