gbm package on 64 bit machine

I'm having trouble getting the gbm package to load on my new 64 bit machine
running xp professional OS.  I installed version 2.72 and loaded the
package, although I got an error message:

The downloaded packages are in

        C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Temp\RtmpQbYngm\downloaded_packages

updating HTML package descriptions
Error: unexpected '/' in "fin<-read.csv(c:/"
+ 

+     gbm.x = 7:14,

+ 

+     gbm.y = 24,

+ 

+     family = "bernoulli",

+ 

+     tree.complexity = 5,

+ 

+     learning.rate = 0.01,

+ 

+     bag.fraction = 0.5)

Error: could not find function "gbm.step"

Any ideas on what could be wrong?
