[Rd] errors in loading packages (PR#9839)

[Gregory Warnes]

Another way of answering the question:  The gmodels and gregmisc  
package both depend on the gtools package.  Either install that  
first, or tell R to install all dependencies.  From the command line:

	install.packages(..., depends=TRUE)

or the equivalent checkbox in the UI.
