Faiz,


Well ... 
In my computer( Phenom X4 9650, runing Ubuntu 9.10 and R 2.10.1) the
script work

	Chi-squared test for given probabilities

data:  freq 
X-squared = 6.72, df = 5, p-value = 0.2423


About the third line You must read ?chisq.test for better know the
command, but you execute one chi-square test with uniform probability
distribution
