R help - Jul 2010 - Installing a newer version of a package - problems

Hi

I am trying to install the latest version of the package quantstrat but I
get the following error:

install.packages("quantstrat",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Warning in install.packages("quantstrat", repos = "
http://R-Forge.R-project.org") :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using
'C:\Users\Owner\Documents/R/win-library/2.11'
Warning: package 'quantstrat' is in use and will not be
installed

> Warning: package 'quantstrat' is in use and will not be installed
Error: unexpected string constant in "Warning: package

This package works with 32-bit and so I had installed a 32-bit before. Can
anyone help pls? Update Package did not help either.

Thx

Start a new session of R that doesn't load quantstrat.  Then the above 
warning should go away.

This is bizarre:  you are attempting to execute the warning message.  
What front end are you using?
