R devel - May 2007 - When loading evir after evd, dgumbel gives an error (PR#9704)

Full_Name: Ronald van Nooijen
Version: 1.4.1 and 1.5.0, evd 2.2-3
OS: windows xp
Submission from: (NULL) (130.161.12.43)


In an empty workspace first load package evd, then load package evir.
a call to any of the routines dgumberl, qgumbel etcetera will now result in an
error message of the form

Error in qgev(p, loc = loc, scale = scale, shape = 0, lower.tail = lower.tail) :

        unused argument(s) (loc = 0, scale = 1, shape = 0, lower.tail = TRUE)

(It seems that evir::dgev masks evd::dgev and that the different parameter names
create a problem in the implementation of dgumbel)

When using mtrace  under R 2.5.0, I consistently get the error:

Error in all.levs[[jj]]: Subscript out of bounds.

The routine is currently unusable.

Please do not

- report on ancient versions of R.
- use R-bugs for reports on contributed packages.

It is hard to see why you think this is a bug, but you could ask the 
authors of the two packages to work together to avoid this (or add 
namespaces to protect the packages against this).
