Dear joris and Michael, thanks a lot for your kind help !

it really is a weird problem coz i've just reinstalled my laptop 1 month
ago, and before the re-installation R worked fine on my previous Ubuntu,
including DAAG, MASS, JGR, etc. I just dont know why it wouldn't work after
my re-installation....

Fortunately, my last desperate try worked. I removed all my
debian-installed-R including all the packages in /usr/lib/R/library,
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library and ~/R/library. Then i downloaded the latest
R (2.9.10) sources to configure & make & make install. Everything was fine
then, including DAAG, MASS, etc. I feel so lucky that i wasn't abandoned by
R anyway :)

recently i'm working on my ph.d thesis which involves a econometric model,
and i want it to be done with the help of R. I'm a total newbie to R, so
there are going to be more questions about it when i'm stuck. thanks again
for your kind help ! it's the first time i use newsgroup and everthing is so
amazing.

best regards

Yanyuan Zhu
