Dear list
 
- Propoerly a beginner question, so bare with my frustration...
 
I tried install the 'shapefiles' package into R 2.4.0 but it seems that the install had little effect...
 

		> install.packages(c("shapefiles"))
		--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
		trying URL 'http://cran.dk.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.4/shapefiles_0.5.zip'
		Content type 'application/zip' length 42335 bytes
		opened URL
		downloaded 41Kb
		package 'shapefiles' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
		The downloaded packages are in
		        C:\TEMP\RtmpMz5Pqb\downloaded_packages
		updating HTML package descriptions
		>  dbf <- read.dbf("test.dbf")
		Error: could not find function "read.dbf"
		> 
		
		Note thet the last line contains an error.

 
Is the package installed or not?
How do I get access to use the functionality it offers??
