Your R version is rather outdated (you haven't told us the version
number, nor your OS). 
There is only an outdated version of mvtnorm (0.6-3) that passed the
checks for R-1.7.x. You can get that outdated one from
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/last/mvtnorm_0.6-3.zip.

I'd suggest to upgrade to R-1.9.0.
