(Sorry if I'm repeating things: working blind b/c of the nabble->listserv interface)
Since you haven't actually told us what package you are using, I'm guessing that your problem seems to be the same as the one discussed here: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/ReadWrite-xls-problem-td3078348.html If that's true (i.e, if you are using the xlsReadWrite package) which is where this 11 vs 10 arguments thing tends to show up, then you need to run this set of commands verbatim once (and only once on each machine unless you reinstall R / the package) before trying to read an xls file library(xlsReadWrite) xls.getshlib() Note that this is different than picking a CRAN mirror (I'm not sure how shlibs came up in that process....) This should fix the error message. By the way, you also haven't told us what version of R you are running: I, for one, can't get xlsReadWrite on R2.13.1 from CRAN so there may be something else at work here. As David points out, there are also other useful R/xls interface packages that seem to be a little less trouble.
