hi,

i just upgraded to R1.4.1 on a windoze 2000 machine. (i first
uninstalled R1.3.1.) after running SetupR, i did packages/install from
cran..., selected all packages, which appears to have installed
fine. now when i type

library()

i get the error message

Error in rbind(...) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 2)

according to help(library), this is supposed to give me a list of all
available packages, not? is this a known problem? do we know of a fix? 
thanks,

h.

Yes, it supposed to, but perhaps one of those packages is not up-to-date in
its information files.  The Windows contributed section does contain some
obselete packages.

I suggest you start again, and only install the packages you actually
need.

it would nice if there were a way to find out which package is causing
the problem,

Yes, it would.  A nice R debugging exercise for you.
