title: What's up R 2.15 and proto?
body: <p>I upgraded to 2.15 (I have 2.14.x and 2.13.x in my local directory).  Then, I got error messages that <code>proto</code> had no <code>Namespace</code>, re-install. That simply won't work. I <code>remove.packages("proto")</code> for all local and main libraries.  I've even tried running as root (I know), and I still get this when I attempt to install.</p>

  <p>I'm going back to 2.14.2 and see if things </p>
  
  <p>There appears to be a conflict with .Rprofile, in that I was able to uninstall/install 2.15 without incident after I moved it.</p>
