Thanks for that information.

It falls over here (which corresponds to about half-way through the
base-Ex.R file):

> if(require(survival)){
+   oT <- T; oF <- F; T <- TRUE; F <- FALSE # survival fails otherwise
+   faketime <- rep(42,nrow(infert))
+   model3 <- coxph(Surv(faketime,case)~spontaneous+induced+strata(stratum),
+                 data=infert,method="exact")
+   summary(model3)
+   detach()# survival (conflicts)
+   T <- oT; F <- oF
+ }
Loading required package: survival 
Error in .Defunct() : `.Alias' is defunct.
See ?Defunct.
Execution halted

If I remove that section, all the other tests succeed.

I'm puzzled as to how that could have happened.  Is it finding an
older version of the survival package instead?  Can't imagine how it
could be doing that.  Could it have anything to do with the fact that
R is built as a shared library?

I gather this is what happens with Error 2.  Just how is it different
from Error 1?

Thanks
