packages will not load

No joy I fear.  I am contemplating deleting R on my machine and ding  
a clean install of R. Have you any words of wisdom or warning ( I  
see my next class Monday am )
I would probably recommend that - given that both messages read the  
same. You can also try to see what's really breaking (e.g. via  
options(error=recover)) and why. Also trying a different mirror can  
often help if the mirror is broken. Finally, if you want us to be of  
more substantial help, please don't forget to post sessionInfo() as we  
kindly ask you and in this case .libPaths() as well.

Cheers,
Simon

I am trying to add some packages to my version of R running Tiger on
an intel Mac . The packages I want have decided to stop being loaded
so I ungraded to 2.8.1 from 2.8.0
However I  have the same problem:
I get the packages from the CRAN mirror that is fine. I then try and
use the packages manager I get for BHH2

Please check your .libPaths() that you don't have multiple versions  
of those packages around - possibly from an older version of R.

Cheers,
Simon

Error in library(BHH2) : .First.lib failed for 'BHH2'
Error in match(fullName, search()) : element 1 is empty;
   the part of the args list of ':' being evaluated was:
   (s, n)

DAAG - which used to install  now gives

   the part of the args list of ':' being evaluated was:
   (s, n)
Error in library(DAAG) : .First.lib failed for 'DAAG'

Some packages e.g. MASS load without problems.

I realise this is probably some idiocy on my part but can't work out
what.

PS.   I have had similar problems on  my G4 laptop
