Dear Francisco,

It's hard to know what specifically caused the error without more
information, but in general you see this kind of error message when you try
to replace an element in an object, such as a function, that can't be
subscripted. For example,

         > myfn <- function(x) x
         > myfn[1] <- 1
         Error in "[<-"(*tmp*, 1, value = 1) : object is not subsetable

If it's not obvious where the problem is occurring, I suggest that you use
the debugging tools in R, such as debug, to pinpoint the location of the
error. It should then be clear what's causing the problem.

I hope that this helps,
  John
