R 1.7.0 startup error: .addMethodFrom...
I've had a similar problem that seems to be assoociated with two events (using 1.7.0 and win XP home sp1): 1. when using the update.packages() feature from the menu and having the system hang. subsequent attempts to start Rgui fail. (However, rterm will run -- ) 2. or after any time Rgui is hung, there seems to be the *risk* that there will be a problem with some aspect of the methods package. I posted a similar note last month but was unable to reproduce the problem on a consistent basis.... See the 6/4/03 message and reply from Duncan Murdoch about Win XP and crashes for a link to a developmental version of R that (i'm assuming) is a latter version of R patched that seems to have eliminated this problem for me. (There was an earlier message that 1.7.1 was due to come out mid june -- hth Joel Kincaid The solution seems to be to download the pathced version of 1.7.0 from cran.

Does anyone know what could be causing the following error message on startup of R: Error in .addMethodFrom(def,argName[1],class[1],fromClass) : object "*tmp*" not found. I'm using R 1.7.0 and Windows 2000. This happened shortly after I installed 1.7.0. Once it occurs, R freezes.
From then on R will always freeze with this error message.
I reinstalled 1.7.0 and it worked reliably for a couple of weeks or more, but now once more has this problem. Thanks. Charles /****************************************** ** Charles H.
