Hi,
To get help with this problem, you will have to create an example that
others can duplicate. That is why each message to the list says (at
the bottom): "PLEASE do read the posting guide
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code."
Before you do any of that, please run some textbook examples using
lm(), which will tell you whether lm() is working or not. It is
***extremely*** unlikely that for a function as stable and heavily-
used as lm(), the same data and the same command produced different
results on different computers, different versions of R, or different
OSs.
Your list of packages installed is not informative, because these
packages are unlikely to affect your running of lm(). To tell the list
which version of R you are running please include the output of
sessionInfo().
You will find that many people are eager to help beginners, as long as
they give enough information about the problem they encountered.
