Hmmm....
I cannot replicate this using:
R version 2.4.0 Patched (2006-10-03 r39576)
on FC5:
> eval(match.call())
Error in match.call(definition, call, expand.dots) :
'.Primitive...' is not a function
I'm not running "Zod" yet, but:
1. There have been LOTS of updates to FC6 since release from watching
the FC lists. I would be sure that your system is fully updated.
2. You might want to see if compiling and installing 2.4.0 patched from
CRAN resolves this behavior at all, though I do not see anything readily
evident in the NEWS file to suggest that any fixes are relevant here.
3. If neither of those do anything, it would be worthwhile to file a bug
report at RH's Bugzilla against R to see if there is something unique in
the version that they are creating in Fedora Extras. Tom Callaway, RH's
maintainer for R, does read r-devel, so he may pipe in here also. I have
cc'd him on this reply.
