[R-SIG-Mac] problem loading ggplot2 package

[Ben Bond-Lamberty]

Hi Peter,

I see you've posted this question in a bunch of other places, with no
luck? Two suggestions: 1) post this question to the ggplot2 listserv,
and 2) clean out R and all your installed packages--start fresh, and
reinstall. Personally I'd skip right to #2, even though it's a bit of
a pain.

Ben
