R help - Nov 2010 - ggplot2 problem in interacting mode

Hi all,

When running R interactively, I have the problem as following:
> library(ggplot2)
Loading required package: reshape
Loading required package: plyr

Attaching package: 'reshape'

The following object(s) are masked from 'package:plyr':

    round_any

Loading required package: grid
Loading required package: proto
> data(VADeaths)
> pg <- ggplot(melt(VADeaths), aes(value, X1)) + geom_point() +
+ facet_wrap(~X2) + ylab("")
> print(pg)
Error in get("transform", env = ., inherits = TRUE)(., ...) :
  attempt to apply non-function

My R package information is :
> library(plyr)
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

locale:
 [1] LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8       LC_NUMERIC=C
 [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8        LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
 [5] LC_MONETARY=C              LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8       LC_NAME=C
 [9] LC_ADDRESS=C               LC_TELEPHONE=C
[11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C

attached base packages:
[1] grid      stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods
[8] base

other attached packages:
[1] lattice_0.18-8 ggplot2_0.8.8  proto_0.3-8    reshape_0.8.3  plyr_1.2.1


loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tools_2.11.1


The interesting thing is that when I put the codes into an R script, and run
with command "R CMD BATCH XX.R", it works alright. Does anyone have
any idea
what the problem is? Thanks~

Hi,
Here are a couple of suggestions:
 -- Start R without loading startup scripts etc. (R --vanilla) and see
if it works. If yes, there is something loading in your startup file
or restored environment that is causing problems.
-- Upgrade to the latest version of R

HTH,
Ista
