i have been trying to load the package ncdf using the command
library(ncdf).
 
below is my hardware information.
 
platform       i686-pc-linux-gnu           
arch           i686                        
os             linux-gnu                   
system         i686, linux-gnu             
status                                     
major          2                           
minor          4.0                         
year           2006                        
month          10                          
day            03                          
svn rev        39566                       
language       R                           
version.string R version 2.4.0 (2006-10-03)
 
 
when i do below, i get that error and I'm not sure how to fix it ?
 
library(ncdf)
Error in package_version(vers) : invalid version specification

i listed the directory and the library seems to be there ( but i didn't
put ithe library there so maybe it's old but it says 2.4.0 )  so I don't
know how to proceed ? 
i tried library(nnet) just to see if i had the same problem for all
libraries but that worked fine. does anyone know anything specific about
this library ncdf that needs to be done ?
 
thanks a lot.
