Hello
I'm using Lyx with Sweave on Mac OS X 10.5.8 with R version 2.10.1.
When I compile Lyx documents, R is called from shell to process R
code chunks contained in the Lyx document. Unfortunately, R does not
automatically detect the correct locale when called from shell. I
figured out that R uses the C locale in shell mode by embedding the
following code in Lyx
<<echo=F>>=
sys.getlocale()
@
When I start R from the terminal and also in the R.app I get the
correct locale:
de_CH.UTF-8/de_CH.UTF-8/C/C/de_CH.UTF-8/de_UTF-8
How I can I get the correct locale when calling R from shell?
Setup your environment accordingly? This has nothing to do with R but
your environment (LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_xxx) - which is what determines
the locale. The default locale settings are system-dependent, so
either your system default locale is C or Lyx forces C locale for the
shell it starts. For details on locale specifications see, e.g.:
