Hello, everyone, I’m new to R and new to the list.
I received the following string of messages when starting my first R session: During startup - Warning messages: 1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" 2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" 3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" 4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" 5: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C" [R.app GUI 1.68 (7288) x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0] WARNING: You're using a non-UTF8 locale, therefore only ASCII characters will work. Please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (see Help) section 9 and adjust your system preferences accordingly. > defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8 Error: unexpected symbol in "defaults write” As can be seen, the syntax of the "defaults write" command seems to be incorrect. Has it changed? And should I be worried about the earlier “failed” messages? Sorry if this question has been asked many times, but I wasn’t able to find an archive of the list. Thank you for any help, Rick _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
