build buglet

Set the locale to C? What are the differences: are they related to sort orders? That's the only problem I have seen. (On Solaris en_UK sorts AaBb... not AB..ab....)
Yes, the problems are all sort order and it looks like this is the reason, though I haven't completely figured it out yet. My locale setting is "en_CA"
at
the office but "C" when I telework, which was confusing things even more. Can
I
assume it is "C" that is used by R CMD build?
Depends on your Perl installation, perhaps. I would expect it to recognize locales if it is recent. It is more likely that your shell is not using the locale sort. I'd set LANG=C LC_ALL=C via your Makefile, script, whatever. I got tired of this and set all my machines back to C, but you may not have that choice. Brian
