Thanks for the ideas, Just wanted to say that it was because I was using an old version of R (as U suggested).
I have now updated to v12.0 and I can see and load reshape2. (and I agree with Hadley that it would be nice if there was some way of getting a more informative error message. However thanks to the helpful R community I know now what to do if I have a similar problem in the future) Chris Howden Founding Partner Tricky Solutions Tricky Solutions 4 Tricky Problems Evidence Based Strategic Development, IP development, Data Analysis, Modelling, and Training (mobile) 0410 689 945 (fax / office) (+618) 8952 7878 ch...@trickysolutions.com.au -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Bernardo Rangel Tura Sent: Tuesday, 12 October 2010 6:53 PM To: r-help Subject: Re: [R] can't find and install reshape2??
