[R] Update problems of Rcmdr?

[Kenneth Cabrera]

Hi R users:

I am not sure how do I  fix it.
But I erase an old R library installation (2.2.0), and also I erase all 
"filexxxx" directories on the
R.2.2.1 library directory, and then I try library(Rcmdr) again and it 
works!.

Any way, how could I trace or debug, so I get a hint whats going on with 
a similar problem in the future?

Thank you very much for your help.
