Sorry, I can't really help you unless you're a lot more specific about
what you are having problems with.

Look at the "Examples" section in the help for the svm function:

R> ?svm

Look at what the data inputs to the svm function look like:

R> head(iris)

And other stuff

If you are having problems with R's forumla "interface" (Species ~ .),
look at the help for formula:

R> ?formula

You can skip the formula interface and pass the svm function an x and
y variables for your data:

* x is a matrix of your data (rows are separate observations, columns
are the features/dimensions for each observation) and y is a vector of
labels (as long as there are rows in x).
