[R] Re : "gplots" packages does not work

[Pascal Oettli]

Hi Fernando,

To me, it is a good idea to regularly check the availability of update for installed packages, using 'update.packages()'.

Regards,
Pascal

Hi Steve,

The suggestion of Pacal worked ok, Do you think it is neccesary to
"update.packages"? Can I "update.packages" although the "gplots" work ok?
