Sorry, you are right -- my mistake: the package is grDevices. 

> install.packages('grDevices')
Installing package into ‘/usr/lib64/R/library’
(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning message:
package ‘grDevices’ is not available (for R version 3.2.2) 

However, this is no longer an issue for me: I seem to have it installed on this new install (of last week). 

Sorry about the false alarm.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
