Hello,

I am trying to use the extended assocplot() function: assoc(), from vcd 
package. Trouble is that it cannot even run its own examples on my 
installation. I get this output:

$> example(assoc)

assoc> data("HairEyeColor")

assoc> (x <- margin.table(HairEyeColor, c(1, 2)))
       Eye
Hair    Brown Blue Hazel Green
  Black    68   20    15     5
  Brown   119   84    54    29
  Red      26   17    14    14
  Blond     7   94    10    16

assoc> assoc(x)
Error in unit.c(mar[4], unit(1, "null"), mar[2], legend_width) :
        It is invalid to combine unit objects with other types


Version info output by citation("vcd") is 1.0-1.

Any idea about what's going wrong? 

Thanks for any help.

Works for me. Which version of R is this? R-2.4.0, R-patched or R-devel?

So update your outdated version of R at first!
At least to R-2.4.0, even better to R-2.4.0 patched which will soon 
become R-2.4.1.

Anyway, David, the vcd maintainer, is certainly going to fix the 
DESCRIPTION's "Depends" entry.

Best,
Uwe Ligges

Thanks for your help. And sorry for not having noticed that kubuntu dapper 
packages were very outdated.

This might help other kubuntu dapper users:

- add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu dapper/

- uninstall all previously installed r packages added via apt (don't 
just "update" them);

- update your installation by reinstalling the packages.

vcd package now works.
