[R-SIG-Mac] XML crash

[Adrian Dușa]

Dear Simon,

Hmm... you're right!
I remember clearly that I've installed the XML package using R's
package installer. I've performed an remove.packages() followed by
another fresh install using (again) R's package installer... and it
works now.

Thanks very, very much (and apologies to have waisted your time),
Adrian
