[R] Problem using RMySQL and fCalendar

[Elizabeth Nichols]

Hello:
I am trying to use fCalendar for date arithmetic and the RMySQL package 
for accessing a MySQL database.   The fCalendar math operations seem to 
work fine UNTIL I load the RMySQL package.  Here is a demonstration:

Error in `+.timeDate`(DT, 3600) :
 no slot of name "Data" for this object of class "timeDate"
In addition: Warning message:
In `+.timeDate`(DT, 3600) :
 trying to get slot "Data" from an object (class "timeDate") that is not 
an S4 object

As you can see, I can do date arithmetic (DT + 3600) before I load the 
RMySQL package but not after.  The "pos" arguments to the library() 
calls are an unsuccessful attempt to get R to use the Rmetrics fCalendar 
package that works instead of whatever gets loaded by RMySQL.

I have Googled until my fingers turned blue and I can't find any useful 
information to fix this.  Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
