Loading SparseM on Win2K

I'm having trouble loading the package SparseM in R 1.8.1, OS = Windows
2000.

Installing appeared to go well; I saw no error messages, html documentation
was installed, and "installed.packages()" lists SparseM among the installed
packages.

When I try to load the library, however, I get the following:
Error in slot(mlist, "argument") : Can't get a slot ("argument") from an
object of type "NULL"
Error in print("SparseM library loaded") :
        S language method selection got an error when called from internal
dispatch for function "print"
Error in library(SparseM) : .First.lib failed

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?  Or what I should do next to
diagnose the problem?

Thanks,

Jim Garrett

Hmm. SparseM-0.34 passes Rcmd check (R-1.8.1 for Windows) and loads on 
my machine.

Possible solutions:

1. Try to reinstall the package.
2. Try to start R with option --vanilla and try again (something may be 
strange with your Workspace or Startup files)
3. Reinstall R, something might be wrong with package methods.
