Hi!

Failed with error:  ‘package 'cairoDevice' could not be loaded’

I've also tried installing cairoDevice but get the same problem. The dll
'C:/Archivos de
programa/R/R-2.13.0/library/cairoDevice/libs/i386/cairoDevice.dll'
is there despite the system claiming it's not

No, it is not claiming that. It does not say which the module is it cannot find (although Windows often does in a popup), and it is almost certainly not cairoDevice.dll.

Welcome to the wondrous world of Microsoft error messages!

I strongly suspect though that you failed to install the external software required and listed at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.13/@ReadMe
