Hi,
I think yesterday's email from M.Kondrin's <mkondrin at
hppi.troitsk.ru>
summarizes two alternatives (1 and 2 below); of course you can also
use R-1.7.1. To recap, I think you have 3 easy choices (at least):
(1) install R-patched from
ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-patched.tar.gz
(2) Or add the line
export(.valueClassTest)
to the file $R_HOME/src/library/methods/NAMESPACE
(where $R_HOME is the directory where you installed R-1.8.0)
(3) Or revert back to R 1.7.1
Hope this helps,
