read.spss() is giving "Rgui.exe has generated errors and will be
closed..." on all the files I have tried (the same happens with Rterm as
well). This is R1.3.0 and the current `foreign',under Win2k.
The problem doesn't happen under Linux on a different machine and
didn't happen with an earlier version of R and foreign under NT4 on a
different machine.
As I updated to a new computer, new OS and new version of R at the same
time I don't know which component is responsible. Has anyone used
read.spss() with R 1.3.0 under Windows?
[R-1.3.0, foreign_0.4-4, WinNT 4.0]
A generated test file in SPSS 10, containing a "matrix(c(2,3,3,5),
ncol=2)", can be read in:
read.spss("c:/test.sav")
$VAR00001
[1] 2 3
$VAR00002
[1] 3 5
But trying to read a non existant file crashes R on my machine:
read.spss("c:/nonexistant.abc") # R crashes
