Hi Joseph M.,
This could be an internationalization issue with Ptolemy II.
ptolemy/actor/gui/ConfigurationApplication.java contains this code
// Even if the user is set up for foreign locale, use the US locale.
// This is because certain parts of Ptolemy (like the expression
// language) are not localized.
// FIXME: This is a workaround for the locale problem, not a fix.
// FIXME: In March, 2001, Johan Ecker writes
// Ptolemy gave tons of exception when started on my laptop
// which has Swedish settings as default. The Swedish standard
// for floating points are "2,3", i.e. using a comma as
// delimiter. However, I think most Swedes are adaptable and
// do not mind using a dot instead since this more or less has
// become the world standard, at least in engineering. The
// problem is that I needed to change my global settings to
// start Ptolemy and this is quite annoying. I guess that the
// expression parser should just ignore the delimiter settings
// on the local computer and always use dot, otherwise Ptolemy
// will crash using its own init files.
try {
java.util.Locale.setDefault(java.util.Locale.US);
} catch (java.security.AccessControlException accessControl) {
// FIXME: If the application is run under Web Start, then
this
// exception will be thrown.
}
The way I would approach this is to build Kepler using Eclipse and then
try setting
a different locale by editing the above code.
I'm sorry Ptolemy II has this restriction, I find it somewhat embarrassing.

Hi Derik,
I downloaded the Kepler 2.3 from
https://kepler-project.org/users/downloads and installed in a MAC OS
10.7.4. The I installed the reporting module and that it. Kepler runs
nicely in my system.
Thank you for your attention and let me know any progress on that.
All the best,

Hi Josep,
Can you provide what operating system you're using, and if you're using a
released version of kepler, or svn trunk?
Thanks,
Derik

Hi all,
I'm working with words with accents (like Artà or Església).
My locale system is set properly as ca_ES.UTF-8 and when I launch R
from terminal it works nicely:
Sys.getlocale(category="LC_ALL")
[1] "ca_ES.UTF-8/ca_ES.UTF-8/ca_ES.UTF-8/C/ca_ES.UTF-8/ca_ES.UTF-8"
municipi<-"Artà"
municipi
[1] "Artà"
But when I run the same script with R actor in Kepler 2.3 the behavior
changes unexpectedly
Sys.getlocale(category="LC_ALL")
[1] "C"
municipi<-"Artà"
municipi
[1] "Art\210"
I've tried to fix the locale settings unsuccesfuly by means of:
1) run the following command at the beginning of my script:
Sys.setlocale(category="LC_CTYPE",locale="ca_ES.UTF-8"). Kepler stops
with an error.
2) edit ~/.Renviron and introduce LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8. Then Kepler stops
with initially at running the script.
It seems that R actor cannot work with locales different from "C"
since I've switched to en_US.UTF-8 and it doesn't work neither. Any
clue how to fix that? All comments welcome.
Find attached the small workflow to test that.
All the best,
Josep Maria Campanera,
