R help - May 2008 - Lattice problems / cannot load lattice

Hi,

My problem is simple: since having updated the lattice package, I cannot 
load lattice anymore. If I type in the command 'library(lattice)' the 
loading fails with the following message:

--- cut here ---
Error in library.dynam(lib, package, package.lib) : 
  shared library 'lattice' not found
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In loadNamespace(package, c(which.lib.loc, lib.loc), keep.source = 
keep.source) :

2: S3

Any hints? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Try installing again by

install.packages("lattice", .Library)

(from an account with suitable privileges).

If that still fails, we need to see the output produced during 
installation.

The latter was the problem, many thanks for this! I use Rkward as GUI 
and obviously some packages have been installed into the user directory 
instead of being installed into the system directory. This messed up 
the installation :( After having deleted the local directory and 
restarted R lattice loaded just fine :)

Once again: many thanks to Brian for his kind help!

Kind regards,
Kimmo
