I am returning to using R after a little time away. Saw some great new functions in the fields package and decided to upgrade.
Everything seems to go fine until I tried to actually load the package, when I get an error: >library(fields) Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 227 And (of course) I am unable to access any of the functions in the fields package. Below is the full install session. thanks for any help!
