Error in svd(x, nu = 0, nv = k) : infinite or missing values in 'x' : Error in R

There are no NA values in my data, though im still getting this error for the following code:

my_data=read.csv("airfoil_self_noise.csv")
attach(my_data)
log.dat=log(my_data[,1:5])
dat.sspressure=my_data[,6]
dat.pca=prcomp(log.dat,center=TRUE,scale=TRUE)

error:

dat.pca=prcomp(log.dat,center=TRUE,scale=TRUE) Error in svd(x, nu = 0, nv = k) : infinite or missing values in 'x'

As the error says, you have infinite or missing values. The log transformation can cause this, if your original data has no missing ones.

For example:

> data <- c(-1:3)
> l.data <- log(data)
Warning message:
In log(data) : NaNs produced
> l.data
[1]       NaN      -Inf 0.0000000 0.6931472 1.0986123
> dat.pca=prcomp(l.data,center=TRUE,scale=TRUE)
Error in svd(x, nu = 0, nv = k) : infinite or missing values in 'x'
