Packages built before R 2.10.0

Hi Duncan,

Many thanks for the response. I did indeed re-install car and this is
what occurred ...

utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'car' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
require(candisc)
Loading required package: candisc
Loading required package: car
Error: package 'car' was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install it
utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package 'candisc' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
require(candisc)
Loading required package: candisc
Loading required package: car
Error: package 'car' was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install it
require(car)
Loading required package: car
Error: package 'car' was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install it

I had checked the .zip files on the CRAN site ahd I do have the current
ones I had also
run update.packages() both as a command and from the console pull down
menu.

I have probably missed something obvious,

I would guess you need to use a more up-to-date mirror.  It's also 
possible that you have somehow messed up the path to your library and 
are installing to one place but loading from another, but normally new 
installs go into the first search position, so I don't see how that 
could be the cause.

Thanks,

Philip

Dear list,

I am running R2.11.1 on 32 bit windows. I am receiving messages as 
follows ...
require(car)

The package kohonen was another example.

This failure appears to be fatal and not only affects the package 
concerned, but also all its dependents.

Is there anything I can do at my end, or do I have to wait for the 
packages to be re-built,

Just follow the instructions:  re-install the packages and they will be
fine.  They've already been rebuilt for 2.11.x long ago.

Thanks,
