I don't recall exactly (ca 2004?) when the base R package structure was reorganized, but some time ago a number of packages were merged into a much smaller subset. Several of these were merged into the stats package, including (but not exclusive to) ts, mva, nls and ctest. Code using such packages is pretty ancient. The OP should try removing (or commenting out) the library(ts) line and proceed with the rest of the script. With code that old, one should expect breakdowns to occur in other places.
