To Whom It May Concern:

I am new to r and mclust, so this may be a silly question.  It has 
also been a lot of years since I have used unix regularly.

I have version 1.7.1 of r, precompiled for Classic Mac OS (I am 
running 9.2.2 on a PowerBook G4).

I downloaded the precompiled version 2.0-2 of mclust for Classic MacOS.

The implementation of r appears to be functioning properly (various 
demo's and examples from the r web site).

I placed the folder 'mclust' in the library folder under r.  I was 
not sure but this seemed correct as the structure of the contents of 
the mclust folder was identical to the other 'packages' in the 
library.  If I load the standard packages, using the 'library' 
command, all is well.  However, if I attempt to load mclust I get an 
error message and mclust does not appear in the search list.  The 
relevant commands and responses are copied below.


>  library(mclust)
Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 1
>  search()
[1] ".GlobalEnv"      "package:methods" "package:ctest" 
"package:mva"     "package:modreg"
[6] "package:nls"     "package:ts"      "Autoloads"       "package:base"  


Am I doing something incorrectly?
