> 7*runif(1) [1] 2.897160 Well, I have a (self compiled) R-2.4.0 beta (2006-09-24 r39497) which doesn't exhibit the behaviour in the same environment (Windows XP Professional English version but with Simplified Chinese set as the locale) that the released R-2.4.0-win32.exe does. [Perhaps my version didn't set up the equivalent of "Message translations" so this may be a red herring, but it does output the startup message in Chinese, and error messages are also output in Chinese.] What happens with the release version is an error message: "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Then it offers to "Please tell Microsoft about the problem", and if you "click here" the error signature has: AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.40.39566.0 ModName: r.dll ModVer: 2.40.39566.0 Offset: 000f22b3 There is a lot more information as well, but I don't know how much is relevant. By "Simplified Chinese set as the locale" I mean 'Control Panel/Regional and Language Options' with Chinese (PRC) set in 'Regional Options/Standards and Formats' and 'Advanced/Language for non-Unicode Programs'. [I don't rely on the Chinese environment, so this doesn't materially affect me, but I may be able to help with diagnosis.] Hope this helps, Ray Brownrigg ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
