Hola!

I am sending this to the list since emails from me to Simon Wood

I get:

Loading required package: mgcv
Erro en `parent.env<-`(`*tmp*`, value = NULL) :
        use of NULL environment is defunct
Error: package 'mgcv' could not be loaded

library(mgcv)

Erro en `parent.env<-`(`*tmp*`, value = NULL) :
        use of NULL environment is defunct
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'mgcv'
 But in the package check summary on CRAN mgcv
gets OK.

If a straight library(mgcv) doesn't work, then I suspect you are
picking up a different (older) version of the package. What does
library() tell you about mgcv?

Yes, because it *is* ok.
I'm pretty sure you are getting an old version of 'mgcv' instead
of the correct one.

Look at the result of 
 ll <- library()
 ll$res[ll$res[,1] == "mgcv" ,]
