I can't understand how the plyr package is turning up here:
> sessionInfo()
R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14)
i686-pc-linux-gnu
locale:
[1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C
[3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
[5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
[7] LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C
[9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C
[11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
attached base packages:
[1] grDevices utils stats graphics methods base
other attached packages:
[1] lattice_0.17-26
loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] grid_2.10.1 plyr_0.1.9
>
I can understand that lattice would be using grid without having that
package loaded, but I can't understand how plyr got there.
It wouldn't matter if that namespace hadn't become associated somehow
with a function I have somewhere else on the search path (thereby
rendering the function unfindable). My guess is that if I knew how that
happened, I'd then know why plyr is loaded by namespace. However, I'm
lost for ideas on how that could have happened.
Suggestions as to where I should be looking greatly appreciated. Or, even
if that's unknowable, how to remove the association between the namespace
and the function.
TIA
