[R] Bootstraping problem

[Jesús María Frías Celayeta]

Dear R users,

	I am trying to use the boot library to estimate confidence intervals
and i have found some problem. I am using 0.63.2 version in a linux machine
and i downloaded the latest version of the libraries from the CRAN site.
Unfortunately i cannot run the documentation example for boot.ci and as it
looks is some problem with the masking of the objects, but i might be missing
something. Is this a bug  or am i missing something? 

thanks in advance,

IOsu

P.D.: I add here the session log attempting to run the example from the
boot.ci documentation
> ls()
character(0)
> library(boot)

Attaching Package "package:boot":


	The following object(s) are masked from package:base :

	 model.response sample 

> help(boot)
> help(boot.ci)
>         data(aircondit)
>         mean.fun <- function(d, i)
+         {    m <- mean(d$hours[i])
+              n <- length(i)
+              v <- (n-1)*var(d$hours[i])/n^2
+              c(m, v)
+         }
>         air.boot <- boot(aircondit, mean.fun, R=999)
Error: 3 arguments passed to "sample" which requires 4.
