R help - Jun 2010 - setMethod does not work in Window 7??

I am developing a S4 class but have had trouble to make setMethod work
in Window 7.  I tested an example found  in the setMethod manual:

 

 > require(graphics)
> setMethod("plot", signature(x="track",
y="missing"),
+   function(x,  y, ...) plot(slot(x, "x"), slot(x, "y"),
...)

+ )

 

It gave me:

 

Error in setMethod("plot", signature(x = "track", y =
"missing"),
function(x,  : 

  unused argument(s) (function(x, y, ...) plot(slot(x, "x"), slot(x,
"y"), ...))

 

It works perfectly fine in Linux.   Does anybody know why?

 

Thanks in advance!

JF

Wrong R version? Maybe loaded some other plot definition before your 
experiment? Works for me in R-2.11.1.
