The problem R ver is 2.10.1 - I am using 2.11.1
Running windows xp sp3 - same system as what I use
The suggested solution is for the user to upgrade to 2.11.1 to resolve package
incompatibilities

Subject: RE: failure to access packages
I am helping a fellow worker get R up and running, and he has run into a
peculiar problem I've not encountered in previous install situations.
>From the Rconsole menu choice, he can set CRAN mirror to USA CA2, but when
he selects "load packages" a very truncated list of packages appears
(many packages don't appear at all).
If he issues "chooseCRANmirror()" from the > prompt, he can still
select USA CA2, but still can't see all the packages that are there.
If he issues
local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available =
TRUE)),graphics=TRUE)
+ if(nchar(pkg)) library(pkg, character.only=TRUE)})
he gets this error:
Error in select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRIE)), graphics = TRUE :
?? Unused argument(s)? (graphics = TRUE)
When I issue same command from > prompt, I get the expected list of packages.
Has anyone encountered this problem?? I've searched CRAN help, but got
nowhere.
