R devel - Mar 2003 - "show" problem with R 1.7 devel

I am running R CMD check on the Hmisc library.  The following fails:

b <- structure(list(mean.prior = 0, var.prior = 1000, 
mean.post = -0.138829104407766, 
var.post = 0.00414867454558915, mean.pred = -0.138829104407766, 
var.pred = 0.00622750409401426), 
.Names = c("mean.prior", "var.prior", "mean.post",
"var.post",
"mean.pred", "var.pred"), class = "gbayes")

b

Error in show(structure(list(mean.prior = 0, var.prior = 1000, mean.post =
-0.138829104407766,  :
        no applicable method for "show"

I did not define print.gbayes, as I want the default print method to be used for
such objects.

Thanks,

Frank

Frank,

That's a rather old version of R-devel: a lot has changed since, including 
`show'.  At present print will be used, but that might change before 
release.

You should be able to fix this immediately by changing
options(defaultPackages) in the system profile to omit "methods", but
you
would be better off with a more recent snapshot.
