[R-sig-Geo] spTransform to convert projected coords into geog coord

Hello, 

I get an error when calling function 'spTransform' -- from package {rgdal}. I've used spTransform recently w/ no problem, to convert coordinates from one CRS to coords of another. Has this function been deprecated, or is there some other method?  

My code below. I'll lean in for a dope slap if I've missed something simple! 
Thanks for any help.

> summary(pp)
Planar point pattern: 18 points

Window: polygonal boundary
single connected closed polygon with 7995 vertices

Window area =  193.967 square kilometer 
Unit of length: 1 kilometer 
> pp.longlat <- spTransform(pp, CRS=CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84"))
