R help - Sep 2007 - problem loading hexbin associated package colorspace

I have lots of data that I need to display, and I think hexbin would
be good for it.

However, I cannot load one of the requried packages associated with
the hexbin package:
> library(hexbin)
Loading required package: colorspace
Error in loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source =
keep.source) :
        in 'colorspace' methods for export not found: [, coords, plot
Error: package 'colorspace' could not be loaded
> library(colorspace)
Error in loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source =
keep.source) :
        in 'colorspace' methods for export not found: [, coords, plot
Error: package/namespace load failed for
'colorspace'

R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27)

locale:
C

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

other attached packages:
 lattice

The colorspace package is version 0.95.

Is this an error with my system, this code, or something else?

Thanks for having this list btw...:)

Where does this 'hexbin' package come from?  The one I have installed
(and
the only one I found) is from BioC, and that does not depend on 
colorspace:

Description:

Package:       hexbin
Version:       1.10.0
Date:          2006-09-28
Depends:       R (>= 2.0), methods, grid, lattice

That said, something is wrong with your installation of colorspace, so I 
suggest you reinstall it.
