R help - Nov 2010 - question about importing phylogenetic tree

Hello,

I am trying to import a phylogenetic tree from Mesquite into R.  When I use
the read.nexus command I get the following message:

Warning message:
In matrix(x, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE) :
  data length [589] is not a sub-multiple or multiple of the number of rows
[295]

A phylo object is created but I am unable to plot it (when I try R freezes)
and I can tell by looking at the tip labels that R is not interpreting the
tree properly (in addition to my taxa names I get a bunch of numbers as tip
labels).

I also tried downloaded RMesquite, however it failed and I got the following
message:

Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.11
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘RMesquite’ is not available

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Nora
