Hi,
Sorry for that ..... Today R did load both ca and rgl packages with no problems ... the single thing i've done since Friday was to put "defrag" on drive C, i even didn't re-start the computer ...actually it was re-started several time with same weird problem ... so i suppose something was segmented badly on the hard drive.
