Tony, The problem is specific to your example:
> install.packages("ash") ... > install.packages("ash", installWithVers=TRUE) > library("ash", version="1.0-9") > search() [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:ash_1.0-9" "package:methods" [4] "package:stats" "package:graphics" "package:grDevices" [7] "package:utils" "package:datasets" "Autoloads" [10] "package:base" and lies in lattice's .onLoad (as the message says, and hence the Cc: to Deepayan). That has .onLoad <- function(lib, pkg) { library.dynam(pkg, pkg, lib ) lattice.options(.defaultLatticeOptions()) lattice.setStatus(.defaultLatticeStatus()) } which is incorrect: it should be library.dynam("lattice", pkg, lib) OTOH, 'ash' has it correctly and so works. I am not sure BTW that lattice_0.12-7 is necessarily compatible with R 2.2.0. Brian On Tue, 4 Oct 2005, A.J.

I don't.
