Please be aware that "R" is spelt with an upper case "R"!!!
I can't answer your question, but you should note two things (of which
you may
not be aware).
(1) There may not *be* a pure strategy Nash equilibrium.
(2) There may be more than one Nash equilibrium.
If the GNE package finds *all* Nash equilibria for a given game
(I don't know whether it does, or if it stops with the first equilibrium
it comes to) and *if* there is a pure strategy equilibrium, then this
will be amongst the solutions found, and you just have to pick it out.
