I installed Microsoft-R-Open 3.4.0 on a Red Hat Linux Enterprise 7.3 machine following the instructions https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/installation/ .
R starts up and seems to be doing fine at first sight. However, when I try to list the files in a directory with the command
translateCharUTF8' must be called on a CHARSXP
Execution halted
On my local windows machine the command works fine.
Googling this nothing really comes up except that the installation might be broken.
The strange thing is, that if I copy and paste the command into R and execute it, it does not work, but if I copy and paste it into R and change that command in a way that should not change its result but only add spaces or something like that it might run. E.g. changing it to
Hi,
I installed Microsoft-R-Open 3.4.0 on a Red Hat Linux Enterprise 7.3 machine following the instructions https://mran.microsoft.com/documents/rro/installation/ . R starts up and seems to be doing fine at first sight. However, when I try to list the files in a directory with the command
files <- list.files(path="/home/username/directory_name/", pattern="*.Rda",, full.names=T, recursive=FALSE)
I get the error

might work, might not work and return the same error, or might execute but when I then type "files" that might return
[1]Error: 'getCharCE' must be called on a CHARSXP
Any help would be greatly appreciated, best wishes Stefan Braun
