[R-sig-Geo] Problems with loading the "mgcv" package

[Tomislav Hengl]

Hi guys,

Thanks for your reply (and apologies for a delay - it was night time in Europe).

I am running Windows XP, R version 2.9.0. I have just reinstalled spatstat with dependencies:

> install.packages("spatstat", dependencies=TRUE)

Then I tried:

> library(spatstat)

and I get the same error:

>Loading required package: mgcv
>Error in formatDL(nm, txt, indent = max(nchar(nm, "w")) + 3) :
...

then I tried to re-install the mgcv package but this gives me an error:

>Warning: cannot remove prior installation of package 'mgcv'
*this is version 1.5-5

When I look under my \library\mgcv\

I can still see a dll file which can not be removed.

Maybe there is a problem that I am using a customized Rprofile? My Rprofile is available at:

Thanx!
