[R] Problem with running installed package on Windows

[James Ferguson]

Uwe, thanks for your response.  The version of R was 2.6.1 and the version
of the package is the most recent 2.2-13.  As mentioned, it works fine on
OS X but not on Windows XP.  I will try using Rtools (from Duncan
Murdoch's site) and install manually using the .zip file.  Any other
ideas?
