[R] startup script with library call to ggplot2 in R-2.13.0; was: (no subject)

[Uwe Ligges]

1. Please do read the posting guide and perovide a sensible subject line.
2. Have you updated ggplot for R-2.13.0 before  reporting the error? 
E.g. please try update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE) and afterwards report 
again.
