I can't understand how the plyr package is turning up here: > sessionInfo() R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) i686-pc-linux-gnu
locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] grDevices utils stats graphics methods base other attached packages: [1] lattice_0.17-26 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_2.10.1 plyr_0.1.9 > I can understand that lattice would be using grid without having that package loaded, but I can't understand how plyr got there. It wouldn't matter if that namespace hadn't become associated somehow with a function I have somewhere else on the search path (thereby rendering the function unfindable). My guess is that if I knew how that happened, I'd then know why plyr is loaded by namespace. However, I'm lost for ideas on how that could have happened. Suggestions as to where I should be looking greatly appreciated. Or, even if that's unknowable, how to remove the association between the namespace and the function.
