Please report problems with addon packages to the porter or author,
in this case  Ron Wehrens <rwehrens at sci.kun.nl>.  It is also
very helpful to say that you are using an add-on package and to give
its version number.

For what it is worth, example(summary.emclust) works for me with rw1001.
I strongly recommend your first step is to upgrade to the current
version of R, for one of the bug fixes was

    o   x <- list(a=1, b=2) ; x["c"] <- 3 now (again) stretches the list
        rather than give a "subscript out of bounds" error.
