[R] problem to load the RGrace package

[Tomas Lanczos]

If anybody is interested (maybe not :-)):  finally I found a workaround: 
reinstalling R (in my case building R-devel from source) and then run 
update.packages(). But what exactly was the problem remain mystery (for me).

Have a nice day folks
