For reference: This is a follow-up to https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=459007&aid=2716458&group\_id=50231 which had been closed.

Thanks for your reply.

Since you write \(in 1\) that this also happens in a plain R session, this is not a bug in RKWard, however, and so I'm closing this report again.

The core of the issue is this: "undefined symbol: translateCharUTF8". This symbol was added in R 2.7.0, while you are using R 2.6.2. This means the version of Hmisc you have installed simply does not work with your version of R.

At this point you have the following options:
1: Upgrade R to at least R 2.7.0 \(caveat: you may have to upgrade RKWard as well, after that\).
2: Try to install an older version of Hmisc from http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Hmisc/ . RKWard has no support for this, but the following should do the trick on the command line:
> sudo R CMD INSTALL Hmisc\_VERSION.tar.gz
I'd try ~ version 3.4-3, first, since that was before R 2.7.0 was released.
3: Contact the people mentioned, here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Hmisc/index.html and talk them into providing a version of Hmisc that supports old versions of R. \(Do NOT contact the main R developers on this. They are not responsible for this package, and strongly dislike being contacted about problems in third-party packages\).
