R help - May 2002 - R 1.5.0 terminated while plotting groupedData

Dear R-help;

Following the installation of R 1.5.0  and library packages to my Win 2K
machine,  I tested the new R system:
> library(nlme)
Loading required package: nls 
> library(lattice)
Loading required package: grid 
>data(Soybean)
>plot(Soybean)
A program error appears: "Rgui.exe has generated errors and will be closed
by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being
created". 

Both nlme and lattice libraries are current. Apparently, there are bugs
somewhere.


Richard

This might not be the reason for the problem, but exactly what versions of
nlme, grid and lattice do you have ? I ask because I get slightly different
messages (nlme should now load lattice, for one thing) and everything works OK
(on Linux). I'll try to check Windows 2000 tomorrow.

But is grid?  Also, the current nlme loads lattice, so I doubt if nlme
actually is current:
> library(nlme)
Loading required package: nls
Loading required package: lattice

Both grid and lattice are packaged with 1.5.0.  It is essential that you
use those versions (or later versions of lattice).

Your example does work for me.

Not proven, as user error has not been ruled out.

Thanks Dr. Bill.Venables and Prof Brian D Ripley for their quick responses
to my query. The problem occurred on a laptop but it works fine on a desktop
in office. I noticed that the library(nlme) loads both nlme and lattice on
the desktop but only nlme on the laptop. So there may have some installation
problem.

Thanks,

Richard
