Re: [R-SIG-Mac] as.Date() does not work with format %B
Not that this is at all likely to be helpful, but it seems to be month dependent in my locale: strftime(1998-07-09, %d %B %Y) [1] 09 July 1998 as.Date(09 July 1998, %d %B %Y) [1] 1998-07-09 Sys.getlocale() [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 # Now switch to france Sys.setlocale(LC_TIME, fr_FR.UTF-8) [1] fr_FR.UTF-8 strftime(1998-07-09, %d %B %Y) [1] 09 juillet 1998 as.Date(09 juillet 1998, %d %B %Y) [1] NA as.Date(09 avril 1998, %d %B %Y) [1] 1998-04-09 and more generally as.Date(strftime(paste(1998,1:12,09, sep = -), %d %B %Y), %d %B %Y) [1] 1998-01-09 1998-02-09 1998-03-09 1998-04-09 1998-05-09 [6] 1998-06-09 NA 1998-08-09 1998-09-09 1998-10-09 [11] 1998-11-09 1998-12-09 Sys.setlocale(LC_TIME, en_US.UTF-8) sessionInfo() R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] graphics grDevices utils datasets compiler stats methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] lattice_0.20-6 ggplot2_0.9.1 quantmod_0.3-18 TTR_0.21-1 [5] xts_0.8-7 zoo_1.7-7 Defaults_1.1-1 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] colorspace_1.1-1 dichromat_1.2-4digest_0.5.2 grid_2.15.0 [5] labeling_0.1 MASS_7.3-18memoise_0.1munsell_0.3 [9] plyr_1.7.1 proto_0.3-9.2 RColorBrewer_1.0-5 reshape2_1.2.1 [13] scales_0.2.1 stringr_0.6 Not sure why that would be though...

I need to parse a locale-dependent date string into a proper Date object. It works fine on Linux and Windows, but on a Mac I've tested, parsing dates containing the %B format (for full month name) does not work. It's very easy to reproduce (here in French, but it's straightforward to adapt it to your locale): # Check that formatting dates works: OK strftime(1998-07-09, %d %B %Y) [1] 09 juillet 1998 # Try to convert the same string to a date: FAIL as.Date(9 juillet 1998, format=%d %B %Y) [1] NA as.Date(09 juillet 1998, format=%d %B %Y) [1] NA The locale looks good: Sys.getlocale() [1] fr_FR.UTF-8/fr_FR.UTF-8/fr_FR.UTF-8/C/fr_FR.UTF-8/fr_FR.UTF-8 And setting LC_TIME manually does not change anything: Sys.setlocale(LC_TIME, fr_FR.UTF-8) [1] fr_FR.UTF-8 as.Date(9 juillet 1998, %d %B %Y) [1] NA FWIW, I've also tried using strptime() instead of as.Date(), and the problem is the same.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Error in xzfile(file, wb, compression = 9)
Here is the solution. David suggested it was a Parallels setting. I searched through the Parallels documentation. I turned off the option to share Mac programs with the Windows machine. Then I rebooted both the Mac and the Windows within it. Now it works correctly. I think what I did was overkill. My guess is that some form of controlled sharing should be possible. I don't need that feature now so I will not take this any further at this time. My guess is rebooting the Windows might have been sufficient, it was definitely necessary because rebooting the Mac and leaving the Windows suspended didn't do it.
