Which system are we talking about?? Linux, obviously, but which distribution packages things up like that? Normally, grid/lattice are part of the base installation of R, being in the group of recommended packages. This wasn't always so, but it has been that way since R 1.6.0. I would suspect that you have some sort of version skew and that your car/grid/lattice RPMs relate to an older version of R (or the person who built the RPMs failed to notice the dependency changes). -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
