Please be patient: rw0640 was only released very late on Monday, and
this is not my primary occupation! In some cases you _need_ the
versions of pre-built packages for rw0640: there is no version of sm
for rw0640 there, yet. I have one working, but not yet fully tested. (I
put one up briefly but removed it pending testing on the release
version of r0640.) If you are in hurry, you need to build from source.
Please remember that 0.64.0 is quite a large architectural change
and as the contrib area README says:
`Very little testing has been done: please report problems but do not
expect quick repairs.'
And `report problems' means to me, not to R-help nor R-bugs! One problem
for me is that many package authors do not provide any working examples
for even minimal testing to be done.

Downloaded the sources and built them yourself, I assume. (If not,
why not?)

The pre-built 0.4 versions on CRAN today both work for me. Which
versions, which precise file dates, on which OS? Because of problems
with missing files and with corrupt help files in the Lindsey 0.4 set I
have put up several successive versions. I will re-build
tonight on a Win 95 machine and you can see if this resolves the
problem: if not, you should build them yourself.

As I said, you _need_ the 0.64.0 version that I have not yet put
up, and if you had compiled from source you would not have this problem.
If you want to send a bug report to me, I need very much more information:
the contents of the bug.report() form would be helpful.
