[R] I can not load MASS at starting R

[Francisco J Molina]

I have istalled R with the rpm package available for RedHat 9.0.
My machine is a pentium4.

This is my .Rprofile file ( placed in my home directory ):

w <- function ( x, y ) write.table ( t ( x ), file = y, quote = F, col.names = F, row.names = F, sep = ',' )
q <- function () q ( save = 'no' )
library( stepfun )
library ( MASS )

The MASS library is not loaded when R is started. These are the error
messages I got:

Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "biplot" was not found
Error in library(MASS) : package/namespace load failed
