Re: [R] Trouble loading package

Your problem may stem from having defined a variable T.
I can replicate your error messages with:
T - hello
library(RMark)
So methinks that this probably indicates that there may be
a problem with using T for TRUE (when will Rusers finally
stop doing that???).
And sure enough, after loading RMark (with no T in my
workspace), I find that the authors of RMark have replaced
base R's .First.lib with their own version which contains
the line:
info - strsplit(library(help = pkgname, character.only = T)$info[[1]],
\\:[ ]+)
Note to RMark authors (and others): get used to using
TRUE and FALSE. The few characters saved by using T/F
are not worth it!
Let me add:
Please note that such code could cannot pass R CMD check. In other
words, the authors either ignored the error or never checked their
package. Such a package could not be shipped through CRAN, for example.
Please use the package checks. They are really useful.

Any ideas what is causing this error?
