I just installed the gregmisc bundle. When I do library(gdata) (or library(gtools), library(gmodels)) everything works fine.

When I do library(gplots) I get

     Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 1850
     Error in library(gplots) : package/namespace load failed

I'm using R-1.7.0 on Mac OS 10.3.

That's very old and probably does'nt know about namesapces?

It does: they were introduced for packages other than base in 1.7.0. However, that line is

    m[[1]] <- graphics:::plot.formula

and the ::: operator was introduced in 1.8.0 and package `graphics' in 1.9.0.

Can anybody help me with this? Could I be doing something wrong or is there
an error in the package (related to R-1.7.0, or Mac OS X or in general)?

gregmisc should have a dependence on R>=1.9.0 (at least). It won't be the only package that does not have such a dependence, including many of those introduced since 1.7.0 came out (over two years ago) as people tend not to test on past versions of R.
