I sometimes get such message when I save .RData with some nonstandard 
packages loaded and trying to open R with those packages not loaded. 
Especially when I work on one machine then save data transfer them on 
other machine.

Then it is worth to rename .Rdata, open R, load packages and open renamed 
data.
