R devel - Aug 2007 - errors in loading packages (PR#9839)

Full_Name: Peter Wickham
Version: 2.4.1
OS: Mac 10.4.10
Submission from: (NULL) (209.59.87.136)


Attempted to load "gdata" and "gregmisc" packages after
using installing via
Package Installer in R. Both load attempts resulted in the following message:
"Error in loadNamespace(i[[1]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) :  there is no
package
called 'gtools'". There is no mention of failure in the Mac OSX
check summary
for packages. Another package "waveslim" installed and loaded properly
(apart
from the R topic "AR1").
I might also mention that I am still using R 2.4.1 tather than R 2.5.1 as I
received warning messages in red
 R[244] and R[451] "tossing reply message sequence 1 on" when
downloading the
latest version of R.

Either use the installer to download gtools etc or check the Install  
Dependencies box and they will all be automatically downloaded.

This isn't a problem, it still works, there might be a development  
version where it is fixed. For Mac related problems there is a  
special list at https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac Check  
the archives for discussion of this problem.
