I just installed the gregmisc bundle. When I do library(gdata) (or
library(gtools), library(gmodels)) everything works fine.
When I do library(gplots) I get
Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 1850
Error in library(gplots) : package/namespace load failed
I'm using R-1.7.0 on Mac OS 10.3.
That's very old and probably does'nt know about namesapces?
It does: they were introduced for packages other than base in 1.7.0.
However, that line is
m[[1]] <- graphics:::plot.formula
and the ::: operator was introduced in 1.8.0 and package `graphics' in
1.9.0.
Can anybody help me with this? Could I be doing something wrong or is there an error in the package (related to R-1.7.0, or Mac OS X or in general)?
gregmisc should have a dependence on R>=1.9.0 (at least). It won't be the only package that does not have such a dependence, including many of those introduced since 1.7.0 came out (over two years ago) as people tend not to test on past versions of R.
