Problem installing MASS-Package

Did you load the package from your library first, e.g.:

library(MASS)
isoMDS(....)
MASS is part of recommended package bundle VR and as such, should come
with every version of R on all binaries for the different OSes (IIRC),
you shouldn't need to install it.

Your .libPaths(...) call raised an error because you didn't provide a
character vector for the path to a library location. .libPaths() is not
designed to do what you appeared to think it did - it deals with
setting/getting paths to where packages are located.

Reading section 13 of the manual "An Introduction to R" would have
explained all of this.
