[R] ggplot2 install.package

[Spencer Graves]

	  From long and unhappy experience, I routinely reboot before reporting 
problems like this, then upgrade all software where feasible ... 
including "update.packages".  Some problems magically disappear after 
doing this.


	  If they persist, then, as it says at the end of each email on this 
thread, "PLEASE do read the posting guide 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, 
minimal, self-contained, reproducible code."  If you do that, it 
increases the chances that the help you get will actually be helpful ;-)
