R.matlab package appears corrupted - r

Solution: The package R.oo used by R.matlab has a function called getDate. I was loading --another function getDate() before loading the R.matlab package.
I can't load the R package R.matlab
Anyone has the same issue? I have the following error message:
Loading required package: R.matlab
Error in as.POSIXlt.POSIXct(x, tz) : invalid 'tz' value
Error: package 'R.matlab' could not be loaded
Edit: it happens since the last update on 3rd of Feb 2011

That's not an issue with R.matlab, but with something else. I see that it says "loading required package: R.matlab" , so the command came from somewhere else.

Please provide the full detail of the command you used that loaded R.matlab. And you might want to post this on the R-help list or R-devel list, this seems to be a bug of some kind. It's always a good idea to put the package maintainer in cc, so they know.

Unable to use svDialogs without attaching to search path

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.

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?
Here's my sessionInfo()

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)

#
# 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?

Error loading "oligo" Bioconductor package

On Windows XP, After updating to R 2.15.3 and updating all libraries, I was no longer able to load the "oligo" package from BioConductor.
To recreate:

biocLite("oligo") #download and install the oligo package
library("oligo") #attempt to load
Gets the following error:

R Studio Crashes when Crosstable function runs

I'm having an issue with R Studio crashing when I run the Crosstable function. First, I'm installing the following packages:
install.packages ("gmodels"); install.packages("MASS")
library (gmodels); library (MASS)
Then, I run the following code on my data frame:
CrossTable(dat$PopSize, dat$PCIncChange, fisher = TRUE, chisq = TRUE)
expected = TRUE, sresid = TRUE, format="SPSS")
R produces the table, but then does not allow me to execute any other code in the console. It also doesn't allow me to save my file or quit the program (I've had to use control alt delete every time).
