[R] R2.0.1 for Mac OS X 10.3 problem
This combination was operating satisfactorily until I tried updating lme4 and Matrix. My attempts to do this ultimately broke R. The R console appears briefly, then collapses. I have tried downloading and reinstalling R without success. Typing 'R' into Terminal gives the error message bring up the usual introduction, then the error message: Error in methods:::mlistMetaName(mi, ns) : The methods object name for coerce must include the name of the package that contains the generic function, but there is no generic function of this name Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData Can anyone help?

It did not `break R': just rename your .RData which appears to have become corrupted. Please always start R with --vanilla before concluding it is broken.

I have the same problem, in Windows, and I think the .Rdata is not corrupted. Load R without loading the.Rdata file - move or rename it. Then library(lme4) and load the .Rdata - it should work. cheers, Horacio -- Horacio Montenegro PhD Student in Genetics and Molecular Biology Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) phone: +55 19 3788 1151 --- Prof Brian Ripley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It did not `break R': just rename your .RData which appears to have become corrupted.

Then library(lme4) and load the .Rdata - it should work. This also is my experience (in Linux MacOS X). The .RData need not be corrupted, but you have corrupted your R installation by deleting or corrupting some package using S4 methods (like failed upgrade of a S4 method package). When you start R so that it tries to restore those S4 objects in .RData, you get the error. Renaming or deleting .RData will help, of course. Alternatively, in my case it helped to start R with option --no-restore-data (in Mac when starting R from terminal -- where you are all the time in Linux). Probably it would help to install again the original S4 package. (In my case this happened when I tried Thomas Yee's VGAM and then removed the package.) cheers, jari oksanen -- Jari Oksanen -- Dept Biology, Univ Oulu, 90014 Oulu, Finland email [EMAIL PROTECTED], homepage http://cc.oulu.fi/~jarioksa/ __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
