I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I accidentally had 2 versions of R open and got that error message from R-2.10. When I correctly enter the commands you suggest into R-2.14 I get the same as you.
However, my installation is filled with errors. I assume the following means that I should install each of these packages prior to trying to install splm from source. Is that correct?
