Ben-
Thanks for the useful ideas.  I've spent some time with them and they
yielded a clue: ggplot2 lods correctly when I login as another user.
Any further suggestions?

p

My answers to your specific questions are below:

-I don't know how to examine .Rprofile
-I have the same problem whether I use the GUI ot command line to load ggplot2
-proto loads fine
-ggplot2 lods correctly when I login as another user
- I repaired permissions, but it didn't help
