[R] Ryacas: problem with "Sym"

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Read the troubleshooting section on the home page:
http://ryacas.googlecode.com .  Some common problems are that you did
not install yacas itself (issue yacasInstall() command without args
and it will do that for you) and that you are using the wrong version
of the XML package.

> library(Ryacas)
Loading required package: XML
> a <- Sym("a")
> a
[1] "Starting Yacas!"
expression(a)
