[R] Error in dimnames(phi) <- list(rn, dims) : length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent

[Yonas Yohannes]

Dear Oleg,
Thank you so much for your advice! But I tried to update the packages and
check whether the problem is fixed. But I end up with the same error.
Error in dimnames(phi) <- list(rn, dims) :
  length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent

It seems to me that, what I got to update from R-forge is version 0.60 not
version 0.61. Please see below the script I got while updating the package:

trying URL 'http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.1/ca_0.60.zip
'

Content type 'application/zip' length 98081 bytes (95 KB)

opened URL

downloaded 95 KB


Do you think version 0.60 is not fixing the problem?

Kindly,

Yonas
