Hi xiyanlon,
It gives you the reason why `library(gregmisc)' doen't work:
bundle 'gregmisc' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
^^^^^^
So it's no longer a library. Look at
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/packages/04/0056.html
for more info
Best,
Dimitris

[R] There is no package gregmisc (was why package gregmisc did not work)
As it says very clearly:
There is no package called 'gregmisc'
^^^^^^^
There is a _bundle_ called 'gregmisc', containing packages gtools,
gdata,
gmodels and gplots. There used to be a package called `gregmisc', but
there is no more.
See http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/gregmisc.html
