You must use \\ for \ in a string. I suggest you write
"c:/rw1011/library",
which is legal and avoids having to remember. I don't know if this is the
only problem.

If you want the current version of polynom, it is in the scripts for
V&R's `S Programming', at http://www.stat.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS3/Sprog/
and mirrors. The version discussed in that book (and in those scripts)
is considerably later than that on CRAN (or the S versions on which that is
based).
