Unable to use svDialogs without attaching to search path - r

I need to obtain user input from the svDialogs R package, e.g. using svDialogs::dlgInput(). However, attempting to do this without attaching the package with library() or require() gives an error:
svDialogs::dlgInput("Example")
Error in svDialogs::dlgInput("Example") : attempt to apply non-function
The following works fine:
library(svDialogs)
svDialogs::dlgInput("Example")
Why might this be, and what might be a way around it? I have the current CRAN version of the package (0.9.57).
Update
I have tried installing previous versions of svDialogs, as well as comparing my code with the source code from the cgam package, which depends on svDialogs. Currently the entire svDialogs package is imported in my NAMESPACE, which is how it is used in cgam. But I still get the same error unless I first run library(svDialogs). Any tips?
Update 2
I also imported the entire svGUI package in my NAMESPACE, with no luck.

igraph R - 'error in base'

I've recently updated my Windows machine and reinstalled R3.4.0 (64bit) and igraph 1.0.1. I've previously used igraph in combination with FCMapper and it's worked perfectly.
On the new machine I keep getting the following error, even with code that previously worked without a hitch:
Error in base::.Call("R_igraph_check_finally_stack", PACKAGE =
"igraph") : "R_igraph_check_finally_stack" not available for
.Call() for package "igraph"
Error in base::.Call(.NAME, ...) : "R_igraph_finalizer" not
available for .Call() for package "igraph"
I've had a google and the previous responses indicate that it's a NAMESPACE error in the current version of the package. Any help would be appreciated!

error in fread (showProgress is not type integer but type 'logical'. Please report.)

I have used fread to read data. But the error has arisen:
showProgress is not type integer but type 'logical'. Please report.
Here is the reproducible script:
library(data.table)
x <- "sgsddsfsfsf"
write.csv2(x,"check.csv", row.names=FALSE)
fread("check.csv", stringsAsFactor=FALSE)

Just fixed. Please try again from dev. Thanks for reporting.
Fixed fread() error occurring for a subset of Windows users: showProgress is not type integer but type logical, #1944 and #1111. Our tests cover this usage (it is just default usage), pass on AppVeyor (Windows), win-builder (Windows) and CRAN's Windows so perhaps it only occurs on a specific and different version of Windows to all those. Thanks to #demydd for reporting. Fixed by using strictly logical type at R level and Rboolean at C level, consistently throughout.

Error attempting to write history

Before a project is open, R rapidly throws this error:
Surprisingly, I do not find anything related to this error with google. Even if, apparently, it does not cause problems to the working session, I am interested in its effects, to avoid possible future inconveniences.

Newest raster package won't plot a raster object in Windows

I'm trying to plot a raster using the "raster" package but I'm running against an error
Here's my code
map = raster("A055E.tif")
plot(map)
Error in `colnames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = "A055E") :

it doesn't give me an issue
I think that if you update the raster package things will work again.
On windows computer I had similar problem - I couldn't plot 3-band raster map using plotRGB(). The solution was to handly remove package 'raster' and just install it again.

Documentation about melt.data.table in data.table

I want to read more details about the new function in data.table v 1.8.11, after reading the link
I tried ?melt.data.table as pointed in the above link.
But there's no documents..
No documentation for melt.data.table?in specified packages and libraries:
you could try ??melt.data.table?

Did I miss something?
EDIT On Jan20 2014
** Problems Still Not Solved**
I tried unistalled the data.table and deleted the library directory.
And then installed using the precompiled for windows in this link
> install.packages("~/Downloads/data.table_1.8.11.zip", repos = NULL)
Warning in install.packages :
package 憕/Downloads/data.table_1.8.11.zip?is not available (for R version 3.0.2)
Installing package into 慍:/Users/James/R/win-library/3.0?(as 憀ib?is unspecified)
package 慸ata.table?successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The sessionInfo() is the same after reinstalling, and I put all the information here.
Still the ?melt.data.table not working.
[Edit by Matt] In turns out the data.table homepage was misleading (now fixed) and the Windows .zip on that page was 5 months old.
The correct way to install from R-Forge is
install.packages("data.table", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org").
Then the problem is solved and the documentation for ?melt.data.table is available.
Sorry this belongs in a comment but it's too long...
You might want to try re-installing data.table 1.8.11 (I found it here). When I do that, then start a new R session and:
library(data.table)
# data.table 1.8.11 For help type: help("data.table")
sessionInfo()
# R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25)
# Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)

#

#
# loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
# [1] plyr_1.8 reshape2_1.2.2 stringr_0.6.2 tools_3.0.2
Note the bit at the end. It looks like data.table 1.8.11 loads reshape2, which probably contains melt.data.table(...). Did you truncate your sessionInfo, or were they not loaded?
