the current version of nlme depends on R>=2.13, according to CRAN. I would guess that this is the problem. So I think you'll either need to re-install an older R 2.12.2 compatible version of nlme, or upgrade R.

Sorry, I forgot to be more specific.

I am using Windows XP.

I am using R.12.2


I installed both packages from the install packages menu.

I always write library(name.of.library), and it is enough.

But when I write library(nlme), R does not find nlme right away

I load nlme first and it says package was downloaded succesfully.

However, when I try to do this again in another day, R cannot find nlme,
so I try to load mgcv with library(mgcv), then I get this message:

Error: package 'nlme' could not be loaded
In addition: Warning message:
In library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, lib.loc =
lib.loc) :
   there is no package called 'nlme'



Is there any problem with nlme that I need to install it every time I open R?

We really need some more information to be able to help you (as
requested in the posting guide):

What OS?
What version of R?

How did you install nlme? Were there any messages?

What happens when you type library(nlme) at the R prompt?

How did you install mgcv? Were there any messages?

Hi.

I have been trying to load the mgcv package but I always get the error
message:

  there is no package called 'nlme'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'mgcv'


I load the package nlme and still I get the same message.  I have
noticed
that there are some problems in using nlme in recent versions of R.  Is
there any suggestion or any special issue that I should know about nlme
or
mgcv?

Thanks


Gilbert
