Dear Sirs, thanks for helping. Opening up another instance of R *without* loading any package in fact I get the usual behaviour for max()/min(). I'm updating my packages: sorry for my laziness, I'm behind a corporate firewall and it doesn't go as smooth as at home. Sorry for careless posting as well :^)
Cheers, Giovanni -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Prof Brian Ripley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: martedì 27 novembre 2007 18:54 A: Millo Giovanni Cc: r-help@r-project.org Oggetto: Re: [R] max() and min() functions not found You have a rogue package loaded into your session, one that was installed for R < 2.6.0. The R posting guide asked for For questions about unexpected behavior or a possible bug, you should, at a minimum, copy and paste the output from sessionInfo() into your message. and that would have helped us to help you further. Assuming you have updated from R < 2.6.1, please update your packages by update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) See https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-October/142367.html for why you need to do this.
