Hubert,

You snipped too much:

In addition: Warning messages:
1: There is no package called 'ade4' in: library(package, character.only 
= TRUE, logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts,
2: package 'mva' has been merged into 'stats'
3: There is no package called 'RColorBrewer' in: library(package, 
character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts,
4: There is no package called 'pixmap' in: library(package, 
character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts,
5: There is no package called 'ade4' in: library(package, character.only 
= TRUE, logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts,

This is where it says "ade4", etc. is not found. If you would like to 
install these packages, it's rather easy:

install.packages(c("ade4", "RColorBrewer", "pixmap"))

mva (which is merged with the stats package) should come with your 
installation of R.

BTW, find("s.corcircle") return "package:ade4".
