I do have single version of R (2.2.0) and all packages I have were installed by downloading precompiled packages from PA or NC repositories within last month.
I also just managed to download 'modeltools' from PA2 and its DESCRIPTION says: Built: R 2.3.0; ; 2005-11-04 20:47:47; windows R console: > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- trying URL 'http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/2.2/modeltools_0.2-0.zip ' Content type 'application/zip' length 64426 bytes opened URL downloaded 62Kb package 'modeltools' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked The downloaded packages are in C:\Documents and Settings\tuszynskij\Local Settings\Temp\Rtmp4458\downloaded_packages updating HTML package descriptions > library(modeltools) Error in load(dataFile, ns) : ReadItem: unknown type 241 In addition: Warning message: package 'modeltools' was built under R version 2.3.0 Error: unable to load R code in package 'modeltools' Error: package/namespace load failed for 'modeltools' The same package downloaded from PA1 does not give me any warnings or errors.

You cannot mix binary packages for R < 2.3.0 with those for R-devel due to changes in environment handling.
