R help - Nov 2010 - Graphics API version mismatch with RSVGTipsDevice

Dear Colleagues
I have been struggling with a problem and could not find a similar
previous posting in any of my searches, so I decided to write to the
list. I am trying to produce svg files from plots using RSVGTipsDevice
in R 2.12.0 in Ubuntu 10.04, but I am getting the following error
message: 
> require(RSVGTipsDevice)
Loading required package: RSVGTipsDevice
> devSVGTips(file = "curves.svg")
Error in devSVGTips(file = "curves.svg") : Graphics API version
mismatch

Although it was working previously, the problem appeared after an update
(I think from a previous R version, but not exactly sure when). the
RSvgDevice is also not working anymore (it started giving this same
error before, while RSVGTipsDevice was still working two months ago).

I would really appreciate any help with this matter.
Best regards,

Leandro

You need to reinstall these packages when you update R.  Have you done

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)

?  It's the obvious way to find packages which need updating.
