R help - Nov 2007 - Need help on an error, when looding library(uroot)

Hi
When I'm looding the library "uroot" something happens with the
basic R code
that handles numeric classes. Its looks like a bug but I cant isolate the
problem. So hopfully one of you smart guys out there can give me some help.

This is how the problem looks. Take for example the vector 
TEST <- c("1","2") which I want to transform it to a
numeric vector. I would
use
TEST <- as.numeric(TEST)

but after i have loaded the "uroot" library I get this error message
when I
try to perform the as.numeric command:

Error in UseMethod("as.double") : no applicable method for
"as.double"

Thanks for any assistance.
Regards Tom

I just installed and loaded ``uroot'' and tried your test example.
It worked without any complaint.  This is under

 > version
                _
platform       i386-apple-darwin8.10.1
arch           i386
os             darwin8.10.1
system         i386, darwin8.10.1
status
major          2
minor          6.0
year           2007
month          10
day            03
svn rev        43063
language       R
version.string R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03)

Your problem must be specific to (a) your version of R (is it the  
latest?),
or (b) your operating system (both of which you should have specified  
in your
post), or (c) to your local environment --- with which it would be  
difficult
to provide any assistance.
