[R] problem with the plm package

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You downloaded a Windows binary package for R 2.4.0 and tried to load it 
into R 2.2.0.  That does not work, as you found out.

You need to install from the source package, or (better) update your 
version of R (as the posting guide asked you to do before posting).
