I should have added that this problem is not serious under 2.10 as you only get a Warning and everything works

Loading required package: candisc Loading required package: car Loading required package: heplots Warning message: package 'car' was built under R version 2.9.2 and help will not work correctly Please re-install it
require(car) require(candisc)
I am using the mirror from Imperial College London and a check on the \library\car subdirectory of my R-2.11.1 installation show that it was updated at the expected time,
I just did an install from the UK (London) mirror (the same one?) and it
works fine. So I've got no idea what's going wrong for you. I'd
suggest deleting the directory holding the problem package (i.e.
\library\car) and confirming that the error changes to "Error in
library(car) : there is no package called 'car'". Then do an install using
install.packages("car")
and see if that fixes things.

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.

Dear list, I am running R2.11.1 on 32 bit windows. I am receiving messages as follows ...

Loading required package: car Error: package 'car' was built before R 2.10.0: please re-install it 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. Duncan Murdoch
