Re: [R] .libPaths() can not deal non-latin characters?
The folder is there. The problem is caused by Sys.glob() in .libPaths().
Sys.glob() will return character(0) when the path contains Chinese
characters.
Here is another demo:
> dir.exists("c:/Users/zjs/Desktop/中文/R")
[1] TRUE
> Sys.glob("c:/Users/zjs/Desktop/中文/R")
character(0)
> Sys.glob("c:/Users/zjs/Desktop/中*/R")
character(0)
> Sys.glob("c:/Users/zjs/Desktop/*文/R")
character(0)
> Sys.glob("c:/Users/zjs/Desktop/*/R")
[1] "c:/Users/zjs/Desktop/中文/R"

Hi there,
I have a computer run Win10 with user names in Chinese. I installed
R on it. It can run normally. When I installed a package, for

you will find that .libPaths() does not accept the path with Chinese
(I think non-latin characters may not be accepted).
I also tried to install the package to other directory with Chinese
character, and then set the .libPaths, and failed.
Is it the features?
Any hints? Thanks in advance.
Best,
