Erin,
the MASS you have installed in one of your current libraries needs R <=
2.9.2 (perhaps in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library ?)
Please run
update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)
and packages in your library will be updated.
If the one in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library can't be updated, because
you do not have write permissions there, please remove it from the
library path.
Best,
Uwe Ligges
