R help - Nov 2009 - question about availability of splines library for 2.10.0

Dear R gurus,
I am using the gbm library under R version 2.10.0, which depends on 
the splines library.  I have searched the various repositories and 
can't seem to locate any current version of the splines library.  This 
is strange because I had previously installed splines (built under 
2.10.0 according to the description) on another machine.  Where can I 
find this library?
Thanks in advance,
Alan

R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26)
i386-pc-mingw32

Have you searched your computer?
Rhome/library/splines

It's one of the packages automatically installed with R.

They don't appear to show up within my package Installer search, but  
it seems unlikely that would be a persistent problem since it is a  
recommended package and the docs say that the R Core Team is the  
maintainer. Isn't that package part of the default installation? The  
stats package doesn't show up either which suggests that using the  
package manager is not the right way to access the package. I'm  
guessing that you should try:

library(splines)
sessionInfo()
