What you've shown us looks inconsistent: The data frame you show has
variables X1 through X5 and `class'. If this is a data frame named
`data',
why do you call tree() with the formula V1 ~ X1? Where is V1?
`data' is the name of a built-in R function. Try using some other name for
the data frame. Also, give us the output of traceback() after the error
occur. That should help.
