（转）R警告处理

程序员的3个美德，其中之一就是懒惰，凡是不影响大局的代码警告我都懒得去解决，比如每次启动R语言都会有：

Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
Type 'q()' to quit R.

During startup - Warning messages:
1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C" 
2: Setting LC_COLLATE failed, using "C" 
3: Setting LC_TIME failed, using "C" 
4: Setting LC_MESSAGES failed, using "C" 
5: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C" 

这样的警告信息，因为不影响R的继续使用，所以我通常是视而不见。

但是在安装一个R包的时候终于开始报错了，而且错误信息表明是之前的这个警告：

> devtools::install_github("mskcc/pctGCdata")
Downloading GitHub repo mskcc/pctGCdata@master
tar: Failed to set default locale

   During startup - Warning messages:

   4: Setting LC_MONETARY failed, using "C"

Error: (converted from warning) Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C"

所以迫使我不得不去搜索解决方案，查到：

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9689104/installing-r-on-mac-warning-messages-setting-lc-ctype-failed-using-c 这样的MAC解决方案，所以我打开我的mac终端，去敲入代码：

defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8

然后重启R语言，再次进入代码编辑器，重新安装这个R包，解决问题！！！

成功安装信息如下：

> devtools::install_github("mskcc/pctGCdata")

很有趣，为什么之前没有啥影响的警告在这个时候就成了致命的错误呢？
