Hi all,I am a linux R user and my default R environemnt (after writing R in linux console) returns the error messages in German (I am not the system adminitstrator and I can not change system settings). I know that the English package is also installed so I guess I need to set some environmental variable for this.Any idea how I am doing that? RegardsAlex
