I must be missing something obvious here: According to the help page for read.spss, the reencode option is only active when R is run under a UTF-8 locale.
read.spss can only import the SPSS file when run under a iso88591(5)
locale, under a UTF-8 locale I get:
Error in read.spss("wo.sav") : error reading system-file header
In addition: Warning message:
In read.spss("wo.sav") :
wo.sav: position 143: Variable name begins with invalid character
This is under Debian GNU/Linux, the stable release.
foreign is version 8.27
