R help - Mar 2010 - Problem installing package

Dear r-help users,

 

I have just downloaded the package vegan and I have problems accessing
the data to go through the examples in the tutorial. I can see the data
when I type "data()" but I am told that the data doesn't exist
when I
type the name of one of the variables e.g.:
> varespec
Error: object 'varespec' not found

 

I suspect this could be a way I have my files organised or that I have
not set a working directory? I am new to R so I suspect I have probably
made a simple mistake. 

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Craig.

The "inner components" of object are not accessible by name. You need
to use the proper functions to retrieve or modify them. You are asked  
by the PostingGuide to show your code and be more specific about  
problems. Until you do so, that is about all anyone will be able to  
say about your mistakes.

I know this one is ages old, but I just try to clean up my last two weeks:

Maybe you forgot to ask for

data(varespec )

after loading the package with library(packagename)
