RGui Startup Error on Win2000 (PR#3084)

Joaquin, In case you don't already know, this problem that you and I had in R-1.7.0 with tseries does not occur in R-1.7.1 . BTW, a real stupid question : is there a line command that can change the file directory ( unix analogue would be "cd") in Rgui.exe ? I change directories using the item under the "File" menu right now, but that's a real pain.

Full_Name: Girish Zambre Version: 1.7.0 OS: Win2000 Submission from: (NULL) (66.7.170.2) I just started looking at and trying R. The problem could be external to R, but I really don't know. It reads 'The instruction at "0x004412f0" referenced memory a "0x0095e40c". the memory could not be "read" ' I get this after installing modules "waveslim.zip" and "tseries.zip"
and
restarting.
Dear all,
this is the 2nd bug report on this within one or two days (the other
one has #3079).
Please check
a) whether there is really a bug and
b) whether it has been reported before.
And again two questions:
a) which version of *package* tseries?
b) what way did you install it?
For me
install.packages("tseries")
works!
I guess you downloaded a tseries version that was compiled for R<1.7.0.
The most recent Windows binary on CRAN ( != most recent tseries
version) for R-1.7.0 should be called tseries_0.9-11.zip on
CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/1.7 --- note the 1.7!!!
Joaquin and Girish, does the correct binary solve your problem?
Uwe Ligges
The version is 0.9-11 and was installed fron CRAN directly using the menu on R-gui, I assume that it was compiled for R 1.7.0. Also, the problem is not that I cannot load the package tseries, the problem is that R does not even start unless I use the option R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=ctest at startup. Also, I should mention that the problem arises only under Windows XP. It works just fine under Windows 95, Windows 98, as well as RedHat Linus 7.3. Joaquin Diaz-Saiz
