Achim - Everyone Yes, I did exactly as you've suggested. I did the analysis over on both my windows XP machine and on my Linux machine.
It worked correctly. I don't recall which other packages I installed the first time, but there was a conflict. Thanks you for the attention and the great replies. Steve Steve Friedman Ph. D.

I cannot replicate this problem. I get the desired result (see below). This is also unlikely to be a problem in the package itself because the examples are checked daily on CRAN, see http://CRAN.R-project.org/web/checks/check_results_mlogit.html My guess is that you have loaded some other package (other than "mlogit") that defines an S4 generic for summary() that somehow messes up the dispatch for mlogit. Please try to reinstall the package and run the package in a fresh R session to check whether the problem persists.
