This happens when one of the variables in your workspace contains a reference to a name space, for eample as the environment of a function. The first warning is there because the workspace cannot be loaded into older R versions. THe second warning should probably be removed.

This I don't understand. Loading a workspace with a reference to mva or MASS (which imports biplot from mva) works fine for me, so there is something more complicated going on. Does a traceback() tell you anything? Otherwise, can you send me your .RData file and I will try to track this down. luke
