Thomas,

I think you are misreading the docs: we have

     system.file(..., package = "base", lib.loc = .lib.loc, pkg, lib)

so the package argument must be named.

I think you were caught by

	R> system.file("", "eda")
	[1] ""

but you need to do

	R> system.file("", package = "eda")
	[1] "/usr/local/lib/R/library/eda/"

-k
