Hi Geoff, What is your platform and R version? I cannot replicate on either:
R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16) Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] reshape_0.8.4 plyr_1.4 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.12.1 R version 2.13.0 Under development (unstable) (2011-03-08 r54703) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) attached base packages: [1] tcltk stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] reshape_0.8.4 plyr_1.4 Are you doing anything else in your .Rprofile (i.e., maybe there is a more complex interaction going on)? What happens if you start a vanilla R session, then: require(reshape) require(tcltk) install.packages("quantreg") ?
