R does not start on my MacBook Pro3,1

Hello,

I am a beginner in R and I am having the error message:

maqc <- read.xysfiles(xys.files)

Error in geometry(get(pkgname)) :
 no slot of name "geometry" for this object of class "platformDesign"

Could someone tell me what this means and how to correct it?

Here is my session history with the error message at the end.

Thanks a lot

Osee

In order to do that, the OP may need to open a Terminal window,
determine where the .Rhistory file resides, and issue the command
'rm .Rhistory'. The Mac GUI hides a lot of the system innards
including all the "." files.
