[R-SIG-Mac] problem loading ggplot2 package

Sat Mar 5 20:50:22 CET 2011

None of these suggestions fixed my problem.  Uninstalled R,
re-installed the latest version and re-loaded ggplot2.  Still get the
same error message.  I'm wondering about the env = envir part of the
error message- could it be a permissions problem?
