Try opening a Terminal, and type this:
defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
(adjust language options as needed, for me this solved it)
Hope this helps,

Follow instructions in the MacOSX FAQ, section 7(!). (The "9" in the warning is a relic from an older FAQ document.) If you need further guidance open up Terminal.app and tell us what is your equivalent of Peters-iMac:R pd$ locale LANG= LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" (i.e. just enter "locale" at the prompt) -pd

Correct LC_CTYPE="UTF-8" That is simply not a locale name. Given where you are, most likely you want export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (assuming a bash shell). But you might also want to find out what you did to your poor Mac to get these settings.
