The example works fine for me. I am using the same version of R (2.9.2) from
the Ubuntu 9.10 AMD-64 repositories and plm version 1.2-3 downloaded from
CRAN.
One point. The plm help example loads the "Produc" dataset from the package
"plm" and not the package "Ecdat". Though I can get the example to run with
Ecdat 0.1-5 as well.
