Thank you very much for your help.

I have already tried import(methods) in the NAMESPACE of hydroGOF, 
however, I got the following error message when doing R CMD check:

  checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Namespace dependency not required: ‘methods’

So it seems that is not possible to force a package to import 'methods'.


Regarding the Dirk's comment, could it be possible to revisit the 
decision about  loading 'methods' in in Rscript ?. BTW, I do not know 
who is responsible for Rscript...


Thanks in advance,

Mauricio
