>Summary: SOLVED: can't fetch list of packages

Initial Comment:
when trying to fetch list of available packages after choosing mirror I get window with message:

Error in do.call(op, list(v_c, v_t[[op]])) : 
  could not find function "R (>= 1.8."

R-2.11.0 installed and R engine is working in rkward

Hi lisu87, hi Prasenjit,

glad to hear the problem is solved. However, I'd like to understand what
was going wrong, so perhaps this can be fixed out of the box. Prasenjit, do
you have any idea, specifically what may have been wrong in rkwardrc?
lisu87, do you still have the old rkwardrc available? Could you attach it
to this report?

Thanks!

Message:
Try another thing:
make a backup of ~/.kde/share/config/rkwardrc and then delete it. Now stat
rkward and see. 

If it still happens, provide the exact sequence of steps that you did. 
And does happen always or sometimes?

Hi,

thank you for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this
on my system, and that makes it hard to understand what exactly might be
going wrong. Could you please provide some additional information:

1) What's the version of RKWard in use?
2) What happens if you run
  available.packages()
in the R Console?
3) Have you tried selecting a different mirror? Same result?
4) Possibly something get's confused by R objects in your workspace. Could
you attach the output of
  ls(all.names=TRUE)
to this report?
4b) Could you cd to a temporary directoy, start RKWard, without loading
any workspace, and try again. Same result?
5) Perhaps attach the output of sessionInfo() for good measure.

Thanks!
