That's a real error in Hmisc, but it should be easy to fix.  Hmisc 
suggests plotly, then uses it unconditionally.  You could prepare and 
test a patch for Hmisc to fix this issue (reducing the ERROR to a NOTE 
if that's the only issue), and then your package wouldn't get this error.

I'd do so myself, but I have very expensive Internet access most of the 
time for the next few weeks.
