R help - Jul 2011 - R 2.13.1 for Windows: error when loading (some) packages

I am using the latest version of R 2.13.1 and need to load the following
packages;

library(maps)
library(mapdata)
library(mapproj)
library(lattice)
library(tgp)
library(spatstat)
library(akima)

I get the follwing error when loading the packages, "maps",
"mapdata" and
"mapproj"

Error: package 'maps' is not installed for 'arch=i386'
Error: package 'mapdata' is not installed for 'arch=i386'
Error: package 'mapproj' is not installed for 'arch=i386'

I have no problem loading these three packages in the earlier versions of R
such as R 2.10.1 but "tgp" and "akima" require R 2.13.1 so
you can see my
dilemma.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated,

Regards

Fiona McIntyre

I don't know if it could help, but under Mac os, you have to re-install all
your packages after installing a new version of R.

just use the following command : 

install.packages("package.name",dependencies = TRUE);

Well, please install them for arch=i386 !

And do note what the rw-FAQ and the @ReadMe said about not reporting 
here, and what you needed to do if a package was not available.

(FWIW, my machine correctly finds that arch for those packages.  Are 
you *sure* you installed them for R 2.13.1?  Try
update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE)
to be sure.)
