Hi all, A colleague of mine tried to install the package EMV, which had been removed from CRAN. she ran into some kind of trouble, R locked up, and she closed the program. Now when she starts R, "utils" can't be loaded which of course create an unworkable environment. Below I've copy-pasted the error message she gets when starting R. Any ideas on what went wrong, and more importantly, how to fix it? Many thanks in advance,
Gustaf Rydevik Ps: She's running R on a WinXP box, if that might be of relevance... ---------------------------- Error : package 'utils' does not have a name space R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22) Copyright (C) 2008 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
