Hello!
I'm not sure if this is an german list, so I will post in english.
I'm using R on my gentoo linux and now I got an spss .sav file. I found
that r has a function like read.spss("file.sav") but when I try this I
get the Error: couldn't find function "read.spss". Can anyone tell me
what's going wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Martin

It's an English list.

It's in the package "foreign". Try: library(foreign) HTH, Kevin

The official language is English.

read.spss() is part of the "foreign" package, which is installed as part of the base R installation, but it is not loaded by default. Thus, you need to use: library(foreign) read.spss(...) See ?library and page 74 in "An Introduction to R". HTH, Marc Schwartz
